Nicotine-containing chewing gum can cause digestive discomfort if not consumed correctly. These substitutes must be chewed intermittently to enable gradual release of nicotine into the saliva, which can then reach the bloodstream and the brain. If the release of nicotine is too rapid (continuous chewing), it is poured into the stomach, which can cause pain and render the substitute ineffective. If pain persists, consult your doctor.
