The duration of treatment depends on the needs of each smoker, and it is not advisable to stop the treatment abruptly, as this could encourage a return to addiction to tobacco. It is preferable to reduce the dose gradually. For example: every 4 or 5 days, reduce the daily consumption by one or two chewing gums, until you reach the point of consuming only 1 or 2 chewing gums a day. This can be achieved in 2 to 3 months. Thetreatment should not be abandoned definitively until the dosage is stabilised at 1 or 2 chewing gums per day.
Only one piece of gum should be used at a time and another one should not be used for 1 to 2 hours. Generally 8 to 12 pieces per day are used. Do not exceed 24 pieces of chewing gum per day.
Regular use of the gum for more than 6 months is not recommended.
