Some smokers chew nicotine gum in an effort to quit, but instead of parking a slightly masticated piece between cheek and gum, they chomp the little squares like a wad of Bazooka.

If you are considering using a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) product like nicotine patches, nicotine gum, or nicotine sprays or inhalers, be warned that they are also addictive.
These include nicotine patches, which slowly release nicotine into the bloodstream, and nicotine gum, lozenges, and inhalers which provide a 'hit' of nicotine when you get a craving.
The nasal spray also works faster than does nicotine gum, lozenges and the inhaler.
A suggestion that will be taken up, however, is to provide free nicotine gum and patches to the poorest in society to help cut down on smoking.
For years, smokers have been exhorted to take the initiative and quit: use a nicotine patch, chew nicotine gum, take a prescription medication that can help, call a help line, just say no.
