Hello, Thanks for the query.
Using Nicotex gum is found to be beneficial in some people for quitting the smoking habit. Most important is the person himself has to be ready to quit smoking and then try this for a few weeks and stop that too. There are a few side-effects but those are usually minor and managable. Thanks.
