Chantix And Nicorettee Gum

I have been on chantix for a week and my quit date is tomorrow. I don't want to smoke a cigarette, but would it be alright to chew nicorette gum if the urge is still there?

Hello----I've tried everything to quit smoking....unsuccessfully. If you chew nicorette you are still putting nicotine into your system. You change one habit for the next. My Dad quit smoking 29 years ago but has to chew nicorette everyday. Personally I feel it is better to chew the gum than smoke the cigarette. Good luck and never qive up. If you find yourself smoking be kind to yourself and try again. One thing, you really have to want to quit. Will power works the best!

That is correct, after using the Chantix to stop using Nicotine, chewing the Nicorette would be putting it back in your body.

Have you spoken to your doctor about other options, in case you are not ready for this quit date, yet?

Chantix contains the active ingredient Varenicline and has been successful at helping many people quit smoking.

Some of the most common side effects include: nausea, headache, insomnia and abnormal dreams.
