Nicorette is trying to hold onto its position in the quit smoking market as electronic cigarettes have become increasingly popular. They have introduced pocket packs of nicotine gum that contain a small number of pieces in different flavors, allowing customers to try gum without buying a full box. While e-cigarettes allow people to quit smoking while still smoking, Nicorette will likely find a niche market but will no longer be the dominant player as it was, since e-cigarettes better satisfy the nicotine craving in a similar experience to smoking.

1. With electronic cigarettes becoming so very popular, other quit smoking products have become
an afterthought. Nicorette was the first company that introduced nicotine gum and for a while
they were at the forefront of the quit smoking movement. While e cigs had seemingly wiped away
these other quit smoking aids, it seems Nicorette is making a push to keep their product on the
minds of consumers who are trying to quit smoking.
The pocket pack acts like a starter kit (something no nicotine gum product has ever really had).
Basically there are 20 pieces of a particular flavour in a pack that is small enough to be carried in
a pocket. This way a customer can try nicotine gum without having to purchase an entire box. It
also comes in different flavours like white ice mint, and fruit chill.
Electronic cigarettes have taken over the quit smoking industry. Nicorette was once a giant in this
industry and now they are trying to hold on. They will probably find a nice little niche, but the days
of them being the king in this field, have certainly come to an end. People as a whole would
prefer to quit smoking while smoking. Although this sounds crazy, but that it what electronic
cigarettes have been able to accomplish. Everything else will remain second fiddle.
Tablets and patches
Smokers wishing to kick the butt can double their success rates by using nicotine patch.
Available at select pharmacy shops but do check the label. The current labelling comes as
a result of concerns that using a patch while smoking could lead to nicotine overdose, but
a literature review found concurrent use of a nicotine patch and cigarette smoking
appears to be safe.
People who use the patch before quitting are likely to spontaneously reduce the number
of cigarettes they smoke because the patch satisfies their need for nicotine and makes the
act of smoking less enjoyable.
Nicotine patch also decreases withdrawal symptoms. 7 patches- Rs2525;14 patches-
Rs8215
Bupron XL 300mg is a doctor-recommended medicine which is meant to be eaten daily
for 60 days. By the eighth day, you will feel the urge has perceptibly gone down. But
don't be overconfident as it is also the time when you may go back to smoking your
normal, read huge, quota. Says Rajesh from medicine.com, a chemist in Greater Kailash-
II, "This medicine is so much in demand that we keep running short of it. The biggest
plus is that it comes with no side-effects."
Herbal cigarettes vs e-cigarettes
The herbal cigarette may reduce the amount of tar and nicotine inhaled, but it will have no effect
upon second hand smoke that is destroying the health of everyone around .Due to the extra
expenses and the lack of healthy benefits to other non smokers, the clear loser in this battle is the
herbal cigarette.
