Nicotine gum can be used to curb cravings for nicotine, Personally I found it hard to quit. Going cold turkey was not an effective option off the smoked cold turkey... my body was still craving nicotine. By cutting down the gum, and the dosage size, and mixing it it normal gum I was eventually able to curb my cravings completely.
