Nicotine gum is a type of chewing gum that delivers nicotine to the body. It is used as an aid in nicotine replacement therapy, a process for smoking cessation and quitting smokeless tobacco; the nicotine is delivered to the bloodstream via absorption by the tissues of the mouth. It is available over-the-counter in Europe, the US and elsewhere; the pieces are available in individual foil packages and come in various flavors. Nicotine content is either 2 or 4 mg of nicotine the nicotine content of one sixth to one third of a cigarette, with the appropriate content and dosage depending on the smoking habits of the user. Popular brands include Nicotex, Nicogum and Zonnic. Alternative nicotine replacement products include the nicotine patch, nicotine pastilles/lozenges and the nicotine inhaler. Nicotine gum can be used in combination with long acting nicotine replacement therapy formulations such as the nicotine patch, it has been shown that combination therapy is more effective than use of a single agent for tobacco cessation..

Nicotine absorption from chewing gum is much lower than during smoking. In addition, extraction of nicotine is incomplete, averaging 53% and 72% for 2 mg and 4 mg gum and it varies among individuals, it is important to recognize. As with other types of addiction, pharmacological therapy is not the only component in treating addiction. Behavioral habits must be treated, modifications to these behaviors along with pharmacological therapies can impact and improve chances of successful tobacco cessation. Although there are many brands of nicotine gum available, they are dosed in a similar manner. Light smokers, those who smoke less than 15 cigarettes per day, should use the 2 mg gum. Heavy smokers should use the 4 mg; the size of nicotine gum is the same for both strengths. The dosing regimen provided by the Nicorette gum label is as follows: Users should not use more than 24 pieces of gum per day. Directions for use: Users are directed to chew the gum until it softens and produces a tingling sensation or "peppery" taste.

The gum is "parked," or tucked, in between the cheek and gums. When the tingling ends the gum is chewed again until it returns, is re-parked in a new location; these steps are repeated until the gum is depleted of the craving dissipates. Cautions: The gum should not be used for longer than 12 weeks. Nicotine gum should not be used less than 15 minutes after eating or drinking, as doing so will reduce absorption. Do not smoke while using nicotine gum to avoid nicotine overdose. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor; the result is enhanced shear stress on vessel walls, repeated nicotine exposure contributes to accelerated health problems that are a function of chronic vascular injury such as coronary artery disease, acute cardiac ischemic events, hypertension Studies have shown that nicotine exposure contributes to stroke, peptic ulcer disease, esophageal reflux. Nicotine may cause wounds to heal more and may be associated with reproductive toxicity. Nicotine gum requires frequent periods of chewing throughout the day.

People with dental problems should be cautious from the effects of constant gum chewing and should consult their dentist before using the nicotine gum. Two unpleasant symptoms which affect some new users and existing users who make excessive use of nicotine gum, are hiccups and a perceived constriction of the throat muscles, as accidental swallowing of saliva containing high amounts of nicotine may cause irritation. Women who use nicotine gum and patches during the early stages of pregnancy face an increased risk of having babies with birth defects according to a 2006 study that looked at about 77,000 pregnant women in Denmark; the study found that women who used nicotine-replacement therapy in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy had a greater risk of having babies with birth defects than women who did not. No studies have been done to show the effects of nicotine gum on breast-feeding; the nicotine from gum will end up in the breast milk. Animal models have shown, it is not recommended that breast-feeding mothers use any nicotine products.

Because this medication requires frequent periods of chewing throughout the day, people who have Temporomandibular joint disease should avoid using this medication as it will exacerbate their disease. The nicotine gum should be kept closed in a dry cool place and out of reach of children and pets. Used nicotine gum must be put in the trash can; when the medication is no longer needed, do not flush it down the toilet and return it back to pharmacies through mail-back service. In case of limited access to mail-back program, see FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website for further instructions. Various policies exist worldwide as to the accessibility of these medications. Gum was sold only by prescription. In most of the EU and the US, nicotine gum is available at pharmacies over-the-counter subject to the same restrictions on underage purchases as tobacco. Depending upon jurisdiction and pharmacy the purchaser may be directed to the pharmacist, or nicotine gum may be purchased off-the-shelf. If sold where tobacco products are sold, the display of the nicotine therapy products may be adjacent to the tobacco display.

Although nicotine gum can be purchased over the counter, in efforts to promote and support tobacco cessation t
