Introduction About NICOTEX FRUITY MINT FLAVOUR SUGAR FREE 4MG GUM

NICOTEX FRUITY MINT FLAVOUR SUGAR FREE 4MG 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.

NICOTEX FRUITY MINT FLAVOUR SUGAR FREE 4MG 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).
