| Stop Smoking Gum |
Question:
How effective is nicorette gum in helping people stop smoking?
Answer:
Nicorette gum, when used according to directions, delivers a
low level of nicotine that helps reduce craving and other
withdrawal symptoms.
Almost half of those who use Nicorette are able to stop
smoking for at least a few days, but many start smoking again.
Most smokers must try to quit several times before they
completely stop.
Yes, the gum is addictive. But nicotine taken in the small
quantities contained in the gum is about as harmful as the
caffeine in coffee or tea. Nicotine is habit forming, but it
does not cause cancer.
The inhaling of the tobacco smoke is what is so dangerous.
Nicotine is just the "hook" that keeps you smoking. Even if your
brother uses the gum forever, he is not doing much of anything
to harm himself.
