Nicotine chewing gums are part of big tobacco's strategy to never let you quit. However there is a hack.

Big tobacco wants to give you the illusion that you can control your smoking by quitting any time with the aid of gums/lozenges. This is false. They will tell you to choose gums based on your daily number of cigarettes and in most cases people revert back to smoking when they are very tensed and want a quick hit instead of a slow release.

Break the cycle.

If you are a smoker or you know someone who is trying to quit, here's what you need to do.

1. Find out how many cigarettes you smoke daily.

2. Find out the approximate strength of the nicotine gums suited for you.

3. Find the nicotine gum one strength higher than what is suited for you. If you smoke 7 cigarettes daily and are told to take 2mg nicotine gums, go for the 4mg ones (which are for people who smoke 20+ in a day)

Your body will react violently to this overload of nicotine. Remember how I said people want a quick fix and not a slow release. The avalanche of nicotine from a 4mg taken by someone who should be taking 2mg will be equivalent to that quick fix plus a lot more. You will get physically sick by that overstimulation. Which is the point. To make your body see nicotine as an unfriendly stimulator. Over time, you'll become more and more cautious when you should take another gum. You can't take it just after lunch, you might throw up. Same thing after cardio. Your mind craves it but your body rejects it, so neither your intake not your toleration will increase.

Start today:

Take 2 4mg gums together right now and report back in an hour.
