 4  Smoking cessation None. I do, however, have moderate to severe memory loss lately, but however, I am also on morphine 3X a day for chronic pain. Sometimes falls out of my mouth while sleeping. Hair loss from having to cut it/pull it out of my hair! This is an awesome product that has helped me stop sucking poison into my lungs to get nicotine after about 2-3 packs a day for 36 years. It is expensive-almost as much so as cigarettes. But it doesn't contain hydrogen cyanide. It doesn't contain ammonia. It doesn't contain arsenic-all items put into the cigs I smoked by my friendly Joe Camel. Or maybe it was the Marlboro Man.... 53 2.1 years

 4  Quit smoking Normal. Hiccups and a little heartburn. Smoked since I was a teen. Quit for 2 prenancies. Got through that but started smoking shortly after each. Started nicotine gum about 6 1/2 years ago and haven't stopped, BUT also haven't smoked. Looking for info into what long-term affects chewing basically all day/every day will have. Started with 2mg and moved to 4mg thinking I'd only use half and save money, but now I just pop the 4mg into my mouth. 46 6 days

 3  stop soking Addicted to the classic fruit 2mg. 4 mg is a bit strong. Feel tired all the time and getting FAT. What have they done to the 2mg fruit classic? That new candy stuff tastes like shit. I'm wasting gas money trying to find the old fruit stuff. For some reason it just tastes good. The new fruit makes me wanna yack. 4 years

 1   This is why I question whether it's the nicotine or the gum base that's causing problems: healthwyze.org/index.php/component/content/article/383-why-a-stick-of-gum-is-more-harmful-to-your-health-than-anything-that-you-eat.html

 1  to stop smoking I got addicted to it. Worse than cigarettes. Lost teeth, thin hair, severe heart burn.loss of sex drive, throat burning, dry mouth, depression. Stomach problems and just feeling sick all the time. Why would someone put 2 or 4 mg of nicotine into a piece of gum or losengen when a cigarette only has 1 mg? I think this was a trick to get people hooked especially when it costs twice as much as cigarettes. 52 10 years

 1  To stop smoking I never smoked till I was sick at 43 I smoked for six months and then started nicorette after three years I basically turned into a vegetable of doom and gloom I could not drive I thought I was at burnout within myself I was depressed and anxious and felt like I could not go on I stopped doing the basic things human beings enjoy in life I ignored the rashes the panic attacks and would not listen to my friends and family who were trying to tell me I had every listed side effect I had to have a gum 24/7 in my mouth while I slept After three years I came off nicorette within five days I felt happy within seven days I could drive the car again at ten days I was listening to music. But at 15 days the screaming addiction in my head and mouth was horrendous I had to get the doctor to prescribe a calmatives to knock me out I am not through the woods yet and this stuff is the devils own if I had not seen the difference the last month in myself I would not have believed it. Do anything but don't touch this evil stuff 45 3 years

 1  Période de stress Perte de cheveux sévère, puis un peu tous les jours. Addiction du lever au coucher j'ai mâché pendant 1 an sans interruption à part la nuit. Maux de ventre. Douleur estomac. Fatigue extrême quand je mâche. Rougeur de la peau et sécheresse peau du visage. J'écris ce commentaire suite à mon poste du 15 Avril date d'arrêt suite à la découverte de ce lien dans lequel je découvre l'horreur de ce que nous vivons tous et le nombre d'années pour certains. J'ai cessé le 16 Avril au matin j'étais à 12 gums par jour de 2mg. Deux premiers jours un peu difficile et puis plus rien du tout. Au bout de 5 jours mes cheveux ne tombent plus! Ma peau devient belle et claire comme avant! Finit les maux de ventre! Finit cette fatigue intense au quotidien à cause de ces gums. Je revis et quelle liberté de se débarrasser de ce poison. Tout est dans la tête. Si vous voulez vraiment cesser vous pourrez le faire et maintenant! Un an d'addiction dingue. Une gum au lever, toute la journée, jusqu'au coucher . C'est merveilleux de se sentir aussi bien! Cessez tout de suite une nouvelle vie commencera pour vous! 44 1 years

 5  To quit smoking Hair thinning, severe stomach pain and gas that also leads to low back pain and insides feeling bruised, ears itching, ringing in ears, bottom of feet burning sensation, joint pain, flu like feelings, achey lymph nodes, severe acid reflux, breast tenderness, dry and itchy skin, nail ridges, affected vision, you name it, the list goes on and on. This product did help me to quit smoking but 4 years later I'm as addicted to it as I was smoking. I know my symptoms are attributed to the nicotene because I have quit for a day or so and the symptoms also quit. I'm so addicted that I try to rationalize that it's okay because I know what's causing these symptoms. That's what this product does, you become addicted and even with all these symptoms you still want it. I have had numerous labs ran and all come back good. Now I know what is causing all my pain and suffering and I still want it. I also tell myself if it's sold in stores how can it be so bad. I hope everyone who wants to quit smoking can find a way to do it, I'm just not sure I would recommend this way. We are all nicotene addicts and few can adhere to recommended usage even at the cost of our own health. All nicotene is poison. F 42 4 years

 5   CONTINUED--- I will NOT chew nicotine gum again. Incidentally, I read on another site that the gum BASE may be the culprit, not the nicotine. Whatever, I'm done with the nicotine gum. Next challenge: I will quit ALL gum. F 62

 5  To quit smoking, and it did help. Severe hair loss, greasy head (face, scalp, ears), severe itchiness in scalp, eyebrows, lash-lines. In a matter of 6 weeks I have lost about 2/3 of my hair and eyebrows became patchy. Unexplained rashes. Painfully cold hands and feet, even when the weather is mild. Teeth are decaying, possibly are loose, once straight teeth are becoming crooked. Severe sensitivity to heat and cold. High blood sugar. Terrible foul-smelling (toxic!) gas. Chronic bronchitis that I thought would get better when I quit smoking; instead it got worse. Couldn't sleep on back because of too much phlegm. Chest pains. Husband says my breath is foul when I chew the gum, even after I brush my teeth. In general, I don't feel well. Vertigo, dizziness. Extreme aging the last few years. Found this website and quit the gum about October 1, 2015. Itchiness is still there. Greasiness is much less. Hair loss is slowed down but every few days becomes severe again. Hopefully it will stop soon. Had no problems until about 6 weeks ago. Rashes are still with me. Hands and feet seem to not be icy cold anymore. Teeth less sensitive. Need to ask dr. to order tests to check my blood sugar. Gas can be a by-product of chewing gum. I'm still chewing gum (Trident) and still have gas, but not the toxic smelling kind. Bronchitis is getting better, less wheezing, less phlegm, can now sleep on my back again. Don't know yet if chest pains are going to be gone. Husband is very kissy-kissy again. In general, I feel better. Still have dizziness. I look a couple years younger after one month quit. All of my problems listed may or may not be due to the gum. I guess only time will tell. Some people are more prone to become addicted to something. Please keep this in mind if you choose to use these products. They are very addicting. I had no idea any of my problems could be due to the gum until I read these reviews and quit. Yes, quitting the gum is hard, but losing my hair was hard too. If there's a chance I can keep most of what's left, and maybe regrow what I've lost, I'm taking that chance. I will NOT chew nicotine gum again. Incidentally, I read on another site that the gum BASE may be the culprit, not the nicotine. Whatever, I'm done with the nicotine gum. Next chal F 62 9 years
