Nicorette Icy White 4mg Sugar Free Nicotine Gum helps you control your nicotine intake, whether you're quitting for good, cutting down slowly or at those times when you can't or don't want to smoke such as in pubs and restaurants or around children. It is a form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) that quickly relieves the cravings and nicotine withdrawal symptoms you get when stopping smoking or reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke each day and works by releasing a controlled amount of nicotine that passes into your body through the lining of your mouth. The nicotine released from the gum is sufficient to relieve the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and stop the craving to smoke, but not as much as a normal cigarette provides and gives you the nicotine "hit" without the toxins in cigarette smoke such as tar, lead, cyanide and ammonia that cause smoking related disease.

Nicorette Icy White 4mg Sugar Free Nicotine Gum should be used by people who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, before reducing to the 2mg strength. 2mg should also be used by those who smoke up to 20 cigarettes a day.

Nicorette Icy White 4mg Sugar Free Nicotine Gum may also benefit smokers who want to quit by helping to control the weight gain that may be experienced when trying to stop smoking. It also contains a number of ingredients which help remove dental staining, so will help improve the whiteness of your teeth.
