Yes nicotine gum can be helpful in quitting smoking. The dose depends on the number of cigarettes taken per day. Thanks.

Dear Shital, Rahul can use nicotine gum with any other treatment for pancreatic problem. After all, Rahul was smoking with pancreatic problem and treatment. Now, Rahul wants to stop smoking. He will be taking a route through nicotine gum. The gum will be reduced one by one every week. In 12 weeks, he will stop both smoking and gum. Stopping smoking will add many health benefits to him. All the best to Rahul. Please keep his motivation level high by giving him appreciation for every small step he takes to quit smoking.
