Shop Quitine Nicotine Gum
Nicotine gum is the option you reach for when a craving hits. You chew a piece for a minute, park it between your cheek and gum, and the nicotine absorbs through the lining of your mouth. Chewing gives you something to do at the moment you'd otherwise light up or vape. Pick 2mg if you smoked or vaped lightly, 4mg if you used more. Comes in mint or fruit. Most people use gum alongside a patch, with the patch handling steady cravings and the gum stepping in for sudden ones.

What is Nicotine Replacement Therapy?
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a clinically proven method that helps people quit smoking or vaping by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. NRT provides controlled doses of nicotine without the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes or vape aerosols, helping you gradually reduce dependence while building smoke-free habits.
Instead of quitting nicotine abruptly, NRT helps stabilize cravings so you can focus on changing routines and behaviors associated with smoking.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you still have any doubt about how Quitine works, explore the most common questions
Chew once or twice until you taste the flavor, then park the gum between your cheek and your gum. When the flavor fades, chew again to release more, then park it again. Keep going for up to 30 minutes. Don't chew it continuously like normal gum, because that releases nicotine too quickly and can make you feel queasy.
In the first six weeks, one piece every 1 to 2 hours, up to a maximum of 24 a day. From there you reduce gradually across the 90-day program. Never go above 24 pieces in 24 hours, and follow the directions on the pack.
All three come in 240-piece packs and in 2 mg and 4 mg strengths. Mint is a quick, cool burst, Fruit is lighter and sweeter, and Cinnamon is warm and spicy with a cool finish. They all work the same way with the chew-and-park method, so it comes down to which flavor you prefer.
Combination therapy means wearing a patch for steady all-day support and using gum or lozenges when cravings break through. We recommend it for most people because the patch handles your baseline nicotine level and the gum or lozenge handles the spikes. Take the Quit Quiz and it'll tell you whether combo therapy makes sense for you.

Yes. Not everyone wants to stop all at once. The 90-Day Quit Program is built around gradually reducing nicotine, so it works just as well if your goal is to cut back significantly first and decide what's next later. A lot of people start out wanting to cut back and end up quitting fully.
Gum and lozenge strength goes on when you have your first cigarette: within 30 minutes of waking means 4 mg, later than that means 2 mg. Patches go on a different question, how many you smoke a day: more than 10 starts on Step 1, 10 or fewer starts on Step 2. The 2-minute Quit Quiz will give you a personalized recommendation if you want to be sure.
Try not to eat or drink in the 15 minutes before you chew a piece. Coffee, soda, and anything acidic interfere with nicotine absorption and make the gum less effective.
Yes, this is combination therapy. The patch gives you a steady all-day baseline, and the gum is for when a craving breaks through that. Pair 2 mg gum with a Step 2 patch (14 mg), or 4 mg gum with a Step 1 patch (21 mg).
