Nicorette Icemint (Nicotine)

Nicotine, the active ingredient in Nicorette Icemint, is a nicotine replacement therapy presented as a chewing gum for oromucosal use. It helps adult smokers reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings while they attempt to quit tobacco use. Nicotine acts on brain receptors to ease the transition away from cigarettes and supports a gradual reduction in nicotine dependence.
