What is Nicotex? Nicotex is a nicotine gum that helps you quit smoking using the principle of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). A  therapy programme using Nicotex will help you get back to life without dependence on nicotine. How does Nicotex work? Nicotex provides the nicotine that you normally get from cigarettes, but in a lower quantity than cigarettes. It allows your body to gradually adjust to having less nicotine until you no longer need any and, thus, helps you quit smoking.  How do I use the gum?  Nicotine gum shouldn’t be chewed like a regular gum. It is important to chew nicotine gum slowly to get the most out of the gum. Nicotine gum should be chewed slowly until a “peppery” or “flavored” taste emerges, then “parked” between the cheek and gum to facilitate nicotine absorption through the inner lining of the mouth. Gum should be slowly and intermittently “chewed and parked” for about 30 minutes or until the taste dissipates
