Nicotine Gum- Cost to Quit Smoking- About $145.00

When you try to stop smoking, the sudden removal of nicotine from your system lowers your dopamine levels, resulting in mood swings that make you edgy and irritable. Nicotine Gum helps prevent nicotine withdrawal symptoms while you're trying to quit smoking.

Nicotine gum can be purchased online or at the local supermarket and usually runs between $35.00 and $45.00 dollars for 100 pieces of gum.

Prescribed Dosages: If you smoke less than 25 cigarettes a day, use the 2mg strength, if you smoke more than 25 cigarettes a day use the 4mg gum.

Most manufactures of nicotine gum recommend a tapering off of nicotine with the following timeline:

----> First 1 to 6 weeks, 1piece of gum every hour.

----> 7th -9th weeks, 1 piece of gum every 2 -4 hours.
