Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known, no matter what form it is in. The gum and patches are to help you quit smoking (or chewing tobacco), and are not intended to be used long term, or with other nicotine products. Nicotine gum is an effective method of breaking the smoking habit, but it is vital to follow the instructions on the package exactly as they are stated. I have known people who were successful in stopping smoking, but continued the nicotine addiction with the gum. That isn't recovery, it's substitution. Because chewing nicotine gum carries on the oral part of the smoking addiction, many therapists recommend the use of the patch, as there is no immediate reward for putting something in your mouth ... as you get with both the gum and cigarettes.
