There are no fixed dose... Try to avoid taking tobacco as long as you can by your will power and when you feel the extreme urge then take the gum... but not more than 2 a day...
You may also take homoeopathic medicine for that
Nux Vomica 1M 1 dose

For quitting smoking, I wish to know if youre smoking now. If so stop it right away.
It is strongly advised you should not smoke as risk of clot is going to be there.
What medication you are on?
If not reduce Nicotex to 0 from 5 tapering or in one go.
