I quit smoking about a week ago. My cravings haven't been too bad except for now. I'm chewing nicotine gum as my NRT. I've been getting by with 5 pieces of the 4mg a day. Was going to try to go down on the gum. I'm chewing regular sugarless gum right now and it's just not cutting it. So I'm going to chew a piece of the nicotine gum. I hope that helps!
