I thought it was just me that was hooked on it but after reading all of these comments I feel a bit better knowing that it wasn't just me been to week to stop. You really do crave this more than cigarettes. Surely this is a legal issue as as in cigarettes they should have told us about the addictive nature of this product prior to purchase so we could make an informed decision. Please email me if you have any legal insight as to where we stand as this stuff really has taken over my life. | M | 44 | 6 years 2 10X day | 5/28/2012 | 2 | To stay smoke free | Fingers crippling in pain, no period for 3 months, hair loss, tooth pain, gums bleeding, heartbeat loud in my ear, chest pains, acne, sore body, energy low, depression, itchy dry skin, weight gain, nausea, bad breath, | You don't need it, just get regular gum for awhile....I didn't even realize my Perfect health in 1 year turned into me playing " WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME ALL THE SUDDEN...."

Trouble sleeping. Joint pain. | I've experienced very painful mouth sores and pain for the past month. Visited both the dentist and my doctor who were no help. The dentist said it was a virus!

I saw numerous Specialists and not one could explain the hair loss.

I was a smoker for 23 years and just quit on April 30th. I went from 10 cigarettes a day down to 4 then started with the gum. I only bought one package and have six pieces left. Since I am only 4 days quit as of today, I can see this getting me through my first week and then I will buy some regular mint gum. This stuff does not taste that good and I do not understand how some people get addicted to it. I take it less than recommended and only when I have strong cravings for a cigarette. | F | 33 | 7 days 4 mg 2X day | 5/5/2012 | 1 | Trading One Addiction for Another | Terrible side effects -- the worst is the effect on my kidneys! My body is now shot, my abdomen and legs swollen to twice their size. The damage on my teeth and hair loss... but worst of all is the damage to my Kidneys.

I could chew it at work during moments of high stress. The emotional toll it took was not positive. To lose so much hair at 32 was the worst thing that could happen. I never connected it until I thought about what had changed in my life and that was was chewing the gum. Your stomach is always bloated from all the air you take in constantly chewing. Your eyes are always red and dry. It takes such a toll on your physical appearance. Its sad to try and make a positive change such as giving up cigarettes only to experiance these severe side effects. Im chewing the last of my gum this week and then I'm done. I just hope to have some of my hair grow back and to get my body back in balance. Once the nicotine demon is off my back I'm never going back. People can say what they want about Nicorette not being the cause of hair loss, mood swings, and all the other severe symptoms experianced, but for me its because they don't want to give up their good friend nicotine and who would. I would gladly keep chewing for the rest of my life if I could keep some of my hair and sanity in place. I hope this helps someone out there. | F | 32 | 4mg 8X day | 4/24/2012 | 2 | Quite smoking | Hair loss | M | 32 | 3 weeks 20 5X day | 4/20/2012 | 4 | To stop smoking | Bloated,depressed,highly anxious,constipated,mood swings,weight gain. | Never knew it was so addictive.I was so happy that I wasn't smoking cigarettes,I bragged about my quitting smoking.I just happened to stumble on this sight.Want to stop chewing the gum.Thanks for posting,everyone. | F | 54 | 7 months 4 5X day | 4/15/2012 | 1 | smoking cessation | 4 root canals, loss of taste, canker sores, chronic headaches, joint pain. | More needs to be stressed on the side effects from artificial sweeteners and flavorings in Nicorette Gum. | M | 7 years 4mg 10X day | 4/11/2012 | 3 | to get rid of smoking | tightness of chest. | F | 19 | 7 days 4mg | 4/10/2012 |
