Habitrol - mint flavored nicotine gum

Habitrol gum helps smokers give up smoking by reducing the unpleasant nicotine withdrawal effects that are normally experienced when stopping smoking.

Active Ingredient: nicotine 4mg per piece.

Classification: General Sale.

Purpose/Usage: Habitrol gum helps smokers give up smoking by reducing the unpleasant nicotine withdrawal effects that are normally experienced when stopping smoking. Habitrol gum does not give you as much satisfaction as a cigarette, and therefore, once you have overcome the smoking habit, it is usually not difficult to give up Habitrol. Habitrol Gum gives you active control over your cravings with a flexible dosing system.

Dosage: Habitrol Gum is available in 2mg and 4mg strengths. The strength you choose depends on your own individual needs, however it is recommended that you begin treatment with the 2mg strength. If you find you require more than 15 pieces of 2mg each day, you may wish to try the 4mg.
Adult daily dose: 8 - 12 pieces.
Maximum daily dose: 15 x 4mg pieces.

Directions: Chew gum slowly until the taste becomes strong. Rest gum between gum and cheek. Chew gum again when taste has faded. Repeat this chewing routine for 30 minutes. After three months, gradually reduce the number of pieces chewed each day. Do not attempt to stop using Habitrol completely until you are satisfied with only one or two pieces a day. It is during the first three months that the risk of failure is greatest. Remember to carry some Habitrol with you after you have stopped smoking in case you feel a sudden urge to smoke again.
