 4  tobacco substitute Occassional fatigue, not 100% certain it is entirely from nicorette use. Best flavor and consistent quality of the available nicotine gums I have tried. I dipped snuff for 23 years and given my enjoyment of nicotene I feel this is the least dangerous of the available nicotine products. M 54 3 years

 1  to give up smoking 30 x 2mg tablets a day for 10 years. Totally addicted, teeth are now full of fillings, root canals, crowns, hearing loss, ringing in my right ear, dizziness and heart palpitations. This is a dangerous drug that is so much more addictive than cigarettes with no negative social aspects to curb the addiction. Nothing works to cut down intake - lollies, chewing gum, herbal teas etc... I wish I had never started on this product. F 46 10 years

 1  To quit smoking SKIN problems everywhere. Acne on back (severe acne). I've never had acne before and I'm 33! Face rash! Extreme redness, EXTREME flushing, my face feels and looks sunburned. Besides skin problems, horrible bowel gas, hair loss, depression, suicidal thoughts. WARNING! I used this product for 6 months, almost to the day. I'm 33 and smoked 16 yrs. I was able to quit smoking using this product, but the side effects are worse than smoking. And I quit smoking because I had emphysema type changes starting in my lungs. My skin has turned AWFUL! I've seen a dermatologist, 2 plastic surgeons, multiple estheticians. It's just awful. It has made me not want to live anymore. I'd rather be on oxygen I think with emphysema than have to be stuck in the house because I've lost all my self confidence. I also had liver pain for a good while. My doctor thought I had gall stones but it actually wasnt. I also had very bad gas that smelled very very very bad. I have also lost quite a bit of hair. No man in my entire family on both sides is bald. That gene isn't even in my genetics. Me losing hair didnt start until July 2010, when I started this nasty gum. Biggest problem has been my skin. I gave the gum up cold turkey when I saw these posts with other people talking about tight, red, inflammed skin. I've wanted to kill myself. I pray to god he heals my complexion. If you read this, please pray for me. Email me if u have any questions. M 33 6 months

 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

 1  quit smoking light hair loss, constipation, gass, bloating, dry throat (to the point of uncontrollable choking), acne, dry/oily skin, irratable, shortness of breath, tinnitus, jaw pain, loosening of dental fillings, increased addiction to nicotine, sleep loss & fatigue. Cold Turkey is the safest way to quit smoking but from some perspective not the easiest. The gum has made it easier for me to cope with not smoking cigarettes but also easier to increase my nicotine addiction with easier nicotine intake. It's better prescribed buy a physician so it can be monitored. Again like cigarette smoking I will quit chewing "the gum" to avoid health problems. This time wheening will be the path. M 42 2 years

 4  quit smoking stomach cramps (drink lots of water with!), occassional sore throat, new* numbness in fingers, acne? I believe this gum truly saved me after at least 15 times of trying to quit a 15-year, pack a day, habit. I chew Equate fruit flavored 2 mg. But I am addicted, and NEVER meant to chew it this long. I really haven't had any bad side effects, compared to my smoking side effects, but have, in the last week, started a horrible numbness in right hand - fingers turn white and numb. My mother, a nurse, attributes it to nic gum because it is a vasoconstrictor. Am going to dr. next week with questions. I am panicky about stopping the gum. I don't want to relapse on cigs. I don't want to give up gum - but I think I will set a quit date, like quitting smoking, and titrate down a couple weeks before. There are no studies on long-term use, as it is not recommended. I don't blame gum companies - I blame my tendency to addiction. Acne may be caused by birth control pills. F 36 15 months

 4  to quit smoking Nicorette helpeed me quit my 10 year 3 cigarette a day habit quite effectively. It was a smooth transition - however, I found myself addicted to nicorette and this led to bouts of nausea, hair loss (which stopped when I stopped nicorette), increased heart rate and chest tightness. It's not a fun transition and you should take nicorette slowly and not drown yourself in the gum. The best thing about it is that it has changed the way cigarettes taste to me - if I ever crack, I find that the smoke just doesn't taste that good. M 29 4 months

 4  quit smoking I was able to quit smoking easily using the nicorette gum, but then got very addicted and chewed 25 pieces a day for 7 years. Finally I used the nicotine patch and stepped down quickly over 30 days and then stopped the patch. I am now nicotine free for 3 months! It feels wonderful. I will never smoke again or use any nicotine product. I thought I was going to have to go to the Betty Ford clinic to get off the gum as I was that addicted to it. F 59 7 years
