Introduction About KWIKNIC PAAN FLAVOUR 4MG CHEWING GUM

KWIKNIC PAAN FLAVOUR 4MG CHEWING GUM contains Nicotine, which belongs to the
group of medicines called Smoking Cessation Aids. It is used to quit smoking. It
avoids and relieves the withdrawal symptoms that occur in people who wish to
quit smoking. It also reduces cravings for smoking when you try to reduce the
number of cigarettes that you smoke in a day.

Smoking is a harmful practice in which abusive substances (such as tobacco) are
burned and ingested in the form of smoke. Tobacco contains a chemical called
nicotine, which makes you smoke more. Within seconds of taking a puff, nicotine
from the tobacco reaches your brain and increases the release of certain brain
chemicals that regulate your mood and behaviour. Over a period, this causes
addiction, and your body tends to show cravings for smoking or precipitate
withdrawal symptoms if you try to quit smoking.

KWIKNIC PAAN FLAVOUR 4MG CHEWING GUM is a nicotine replacement therapy. It helps
to quit smoking by replacing the deficient levels of nicotine in your body that
happen when you attempt to quit smoking. As a result, it reduces cravings for
smoking and protects your body from the harmful effects of abusive substances
(such as tobacco).
