Nicotinell 2mg Fruit Gum 96 Pack — Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Nicotinell 2mg Fruit Gum is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) product that helps people stop smoking by delivering controlled doses of nicotine through the lining of the mouth — relieving cravings and withdrawal symptoms without the thousands of harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke. The fruit flavour makes it a popular choice for those who find the taste of standard nicotine gum unpleasant.
The 96-piece pack provides a generous supply — ideal for the initial intensive phase of a quit attempt when craving frequency is highest. Available without prescription from Chemco Pharmacy.
Key Features
- 2mg nicotine per piece — suitable for those smoking fewer than 20 cigarettes per day
- Fruit flavour — popular alternative to mint for those who find nicotine gum taste unpleasant
- 96-piece pack — generous supply for sustained quit attempt
- Fast-acting craving relief — nicotine absorbed through mouth lining
- Part of a complete NRT quit programme
- Available without prescription from Chemco Pharmacy
- Also available: Nicotinell 4mg Gum for heavier smokers
How to Use — The Chew and Park Technique
Chew the gum slowly until you notice a tingling sensation or strong taste, then "park" it between your cheek and gum. When the tingle fades, chew again briefly and re-park. Continue for approximately 30 minutes per piece. Do not swallow or chew continuously — nicotine is absorbed through the mouth lining, not the stomach. Use one piece when cravings arise or on a set schedule. Maximum 15 pieces in 24 hours.
NRT medicine. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak with your GP or pharmacist before starting NRT. Do not use if you are a non-smoker. Keep out of reach of children — nicotine is toxic in large amounts. Always read the patient information leaflet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use 2mg or 4mg Nicotinell Gum?
The 2mg strength is recommended for smokers who smoke fewer than 20 cigarettes per day or who smoke their first cigarette more than 30 minutes after waking. The 4mg strength is for heavier smokers — those who smoke 20 or more cigarettes daily or smoke within 30 minutes of waking. Starting at too low a dose is a common reason NRT fails — if 2mg is not controlling cravings after several days, speak with your pharmacist about switching to 4mg or adding a patch for background nicotine delivery.
Can I use Nicotinell Gum alongside a nicotine patch?
Yes — combination NRT is often more effective than a single product. Using a patch for background nicotine delivery throughout the day alongside gum for acute craving relief is a pharmacist-recommended approach for heavier smokers or those who have previously struggled to quit. Speak with your Chemco pharmacist about combination NRT options including Nicorette QuickMist, patches and gum.
How long should I use NRT gum?
Most clinical guidelines recommend using NRT for a minimum of 8–12 weeks to maximise quit success rates. Many people use NRT for longer — this is safe and preferable to returning to smoking. Gradually reduce the number of pieces used per day over time as cravings lessen. There is no significant health risk in long-term NRT use compared to smoking.
