 1  To quit smoking I quit the lozenges a month ago as the stern advice of my periodontist. I used about 12 lozenges per day min and I've had severe hair loss whilst using this product. Dr and Dentist told me it constricts the blood vessels in scalp. I have a rough, white pre-cancerous lesion on roof of mouth, gum recession, highly sensitive teeth, pre-diabetic (it effects insulin) and scaly red bite like spots on arms and legs I've had over a year plus significant weight gain. All improving slowly since I quit this poison. This should only be given by prescription. Side effects can be dangerous and people don't realise the cause until too late. All Drs need to be educated on the long term effects of this drug. F 46 7 years

 1  Quit smoking Hair loss. Doctors can't figure out what's causing my hair to thin and I think it may be from abusing this damn gum. It's incredibly addictive, incredibly hard to stop and makes anxiety worse. If anyone knows if this causes hair loss please, please email me. F 27 3 years

 4  To quit smoking The only side effects I have are sore teeth but i brush twice a day i also have pretty bad earache but dont last long sometimes it wakes me up in my sleep. I'd rather wake up with an earache than smoke a cigarette Been using nicorette for last month and half went from smoking a pack a day to 5 cigs then I only had 2 with coffee then only 1 one day I had no cigs with coffee and I haven't smoked in 16 days. Thanks nicorette but your reviews are scary been using 4 mg white mint only chew 7 to 8 a day next time I'll buy 2 mg and try to wean myself off but so far so good this stuff has really worked but hopefully I'll quit it too good luck out there M 31 50 days

 3  To stop smoking.... again I put 10 times daily but it’s more like 20. I’m not sure what side effects are really connected to the nicorette. The worst is depression and that leads to lack of motivation which leads to lack of energy. Yes my teeth are horrid as well. I wonder what is the best way to kick the nicorette habit? F 64 6 days

 2  To Quit Dipping pouches Side effects were minimal for the first couple of months. About 4 months in I was using about 10 pieces per day and started to get horrible bowel problems, weird pains in the abdomen and back, and really bad TMJ. I was going to quit using the gum realizing that at some point I needed to face the nicotine addiction and stop all delivery methods. Decided to keep using the gum after I had seen studies that Nicotine could help reduce the risk of contracting a bad case of Covid 19. The TMJ started about a month into chewing the gum but I knew where that side effect was coming from and decided to keep using the gum and not go back to dipping snus. The back and abdomen pain started getting really bad in May,(It's July now), had the doctor draw blood to check liver and pancreas function, fearing I was in some real trouble based on the unknown symptoms. I didn't think a piece of gum could cause those problems, but holy cow it scared the literal crap out of me. Day 2 of stopping and my back and stomach problems are greatly reduced. I am using some regular gum for the oral fix and flooding my body with water. Those side effects were not healthy and I would encourage all people to use this product to stop tobacco and get the nicotine out of your system as soon as you can. Good luck. M 43 7 months

 3  To stop smoking Teeth sensitivity, tooth decay, white rough skin on roof of mouth, hair thinning and loss, weight gain, dry skin, follicilitis, chronic gas and bloating, aching joints and feet. No energy. I used nicotine minis to give up smoking, they worked but this addiction is just as bad as smoking with even more side effects. Do not use to give up, go cold turkey. Research has shown they cause insulin resistance and I am now a borderline diabetic (No family history) Even though I smoked I felt fit and healthy before, I know feel like a wreck. I would never recommend them and they should be prescription only. Trying hard to give up but finding it very difficult. F 46 7 days

 4  To stop smoking I'm breathing better because I'm not smoking but I've had heart palpitations, ears ringing and now my gums are getting sore and seem to be receding maybe from the nicotine or from the irritation of the the lozenge parked there. I use 3-4 per day but they take forever to dissolve so I have one in a large part of the day. They have really helped me stay away from smoking tho. Overall I'm grateful. Between vaping for the first 6 months and now the lozenges, I quit smoking and have stayed off over a year (after nearly 30 years of smoking) F 45 7 months

 1  Quit Smoking Anxiety, ear ringing, malaise, jaw and gum pain, hair has thinned out, addicted to gum and increased use of number of pieces over the years Nicorette helped me to quit smoking and I'm grateful for that but I'm addicted to 4mg gum now. The number I chewed per day increased over the years. Last week I cut down to try and quit. I went from over 20 pieces of 4 mg a day to 10 pieces. For three days after I cut down I felt depressed and tired. I read Allen Carr's EASYWAY every day to stay focused and try to finally quit the gum. F 58 15 years

 1  To stop smoking Nicorette helped me stop smoking, but now I'm addicted to the Nicorettes, and I've just learned that I have inflammation in my stomach. these gastric refluxes go up to my throat and damage it. Nicorette is extremely addictive, and must be stopped quickly to avoid the problems I have. I stopped smoking for my health, and I end up with health problems. nicorette should not be used more than six months, can be a help but very short, because it is dangerous for health F 27 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

 1  To stop smoking Weeks with constant runny nose, exacerbated acute allergy to pollen, swollen looking jawline, heart palpitations, high heart rate, TMJ. On multiple occasions, I would try to quit for a couple days and I would sweat a lot, had feelings of depression and was extremely agitated. Feelings of guilt and embarrassment as I hide habit from family & friends. Just don't start! I am now using the a nicotine patch to help get me stop using the gum. I am so sick of all the constant chewing and hiding my habit from others. In the past two months, I have noticed a constant runny nose and also occasionally develop pain in my jaw from chewing (TMJ). I started using the gum sporadically when I visited family and didn't want to smoke in front of them. Then began using it during graduate school (school had no smoking on campus policy) while I was in the library to help me focus. Sure, it helped for a while. Eventually, stopped smoking altogether and continued using the gum for another 2.5 years. It is extremely addictive and there have been times when I chew so much I feel sick. I have spent so much money on gum it's ridiculous! Thought it would help me lose weight as an appetite suppressant. It did help for a while, but gained that weight back. This will not help you keep your weight in check for long periods of time. In fact, after reading up on it I am starting to believe it can induce diabetes 2 in some people. My main concern with quitting is that I worry that I will get depressed and lack motivation to make positive changes in my life. Hoping the patch while gradually help me reduce my nicotine levels gradually until I can finally stop! F 37 4 years
