Giving up Smoking - Alternatives
************************
* Nicotine Chewing Gum *
************************
This preparation is now available on
private prescription from doctors.
It should only be used as part of a
carefully organised programme like the
one described in the section "How to
stop smoking". The gum is chewed for at
least 20 minutes and during this time
nicotine is slowly absorbed through the
lining of the mouth. This helps prevent
side effects due to an abrupt end to
smoking and helps with the craving for
cigarettes. Nicotine is very poisonous
and must be only be used under careful
medical supervision and control.
