| 5 | Quitting smoking | No side effects except the satisfaction of smoking a cigarette. | I don't believe this gum to be harmful in any way. I believe Nicotine can be used safely without any long term adverse effects. Things like mouth sores can be attributed to an increased movement of the tongue against the teeth. Study's are beginning show nicotine is not harmful in moderate quantities. Like the old saying goes, "Everything in moderation". The one downside is it is addictive of course, it's nicotine! | M | 38 | 1 years 4mg x10 10X day | 11/23/2023 | 5 | The gum worked. I was hooked for over 3 years. I developed panic attacks while driving my car a few months ago. I also developed cardiac arythmia. Dr prescribed low dose prozac. I do not recommend chewing the gum over 90 days! | F | 52 | 3 years | 8/1/2018 | 5 | quit smoking cigarettes. | The only bad side effects I know are from the Nicorette gum are the mouth sores. I chewed 10-15 pieces a day for over 11 years. I became addicted. I stopped taking Nicorette about a week ago, I’m irritable, | I cannot focus and I’m very constipated. I will get through this. I will not succumb to this addiction. You can quit Nicorette TODAY too!! | F | 54 | 11 years 2mg | 12/12/2017 | 5 | To stop smoking | None. It's great! | F | 47 | 4 months 4 MG | 11/4/2017 | 5 | To help with cravings | Burping and big long and smelly farts | M | 39 | 41 days 4mg | 5/19/2017 | 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 2mg/4mg | 1/9/2017 | 5 | To stop smoking | Jaw pain and coughing. | I am now addicted and broke because it is so expensive. | F | 57 | 10 years 20 9X day | 10/19/2016 | 5 | To quit smoking after 30 years | Addiction, psychological physical. | Could not have quit without it. | F | 55 | 4 years 4mg,10/day | 10/3/2016 | 5 | Smoking started to cause bronchitis | Severe osteoporosis of the facial bones. Parts of bones dissolved. | Good product. Does its job. But when you are told to not take it for more than a year do as you're told. Or don't moan about the consequences. | M | 70 | 20 years 36mg 1X H | 7/18/2016 | 5 | gave up smoking | None | Very addictive and as hard to give up as smoking would not recommend it or any other nrt cold turkey the best way | F | 51 | 10 years 30 mg | 4/2/2016 | 5 | To quit smoking | Years ago, I used the gum- that had adverse effects on my teeth. Quitting gum sent me back to smoking. Til I found the lozenges... Been using lozenges happily with no side effects. (They are just a bit expensive). I only use niccorete brand 4 mg MINI lozenges. The regular size lozenge would leave white marks around my lips. I am thrilled to have this product and be smoke free! | Highly recommend the mini lozenges to QUIT SMOKING!! If you're still smoking, stop! That's a proven killer. It's a shame the government doesn't promote smokers to quit. It should be a top priority, with more commercials and information about the hazards of smoking. Shameful to see how poor people spend their last dollars on cigarettes. | M | 44 | 1 years 4 mg | 3/25/2016 | 5 | to quit smoking | Gunk in my throat | Makes me hyper, I like that | M | 63 | 7 years 2mg | 11/23/2015 | 5 | Equate is cheaper and the same | I smoked.for 43 years. I no longer do. Enough said. No hair loss, no increase is blood sugar, excellent BP, my teeth are strong and all mine! No side effects period. It's better than smoking. No odor on my breath, yes I always ask. No skin Rash. Truth is no side effects, but I do get tired of my addiction to them. But as my doctors agree. I'm not smoking. Equate is identical and cost far less. | M | 67 | 10 years 2 mg | 11/20/2015 | 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 | 1X day | 11/5/2015 | 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 2 mg 2X H | 11/4/2015 | 5 | Quit smoking | Helps me from smoking but addicted to gun. Quite smoking 9-2-13 but addicted to the gun. Don't know if there are any long term health risks | M | 42 | 2 years 2 mg | 10/20/2015 | 5 | To stop chewing tobacco. | I quit tobacco. No side effects to date, I however, spit and not swallow the nicotine. | I have read some of the effects people are having on here. Think about this, why are you blaming it on nicotine? You smoked, dipped, or whatever it all contained nicotine, did you have the problems with you other addiction? No..... Then why blame nicotine now? | M | 50 | 4 months 4 | 2/26/2015 | 5 | nicorette quick mist spray | None been using it for 2 yrs straight will it do me harm | F | 58 | 2 years 1mg | 1/4/2015 | 5 | stop smoking | Very addictive, lost all my teeth . expensive more than smoking.I don't recommend using that product.I have also read of hair loss happening. | Company doesn't tell you that. | F | 56 | 1 years 2mg | 12/29/2014 | 5 | To quit smoking | OMG my hair is falling out, had teeths pull from lack of bone in jaw. | F | 56 | 6 years 40mg 10X day | 12/26/2014 |
