Fast release gum

Fast release oromucosal gum available in 2mg and 4mg strengths, offered in Peppermint and Menthol flavors. Convenient, discreet, and part of Nic-Hit’s nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking cessation.

This gum is formulated to deliver nicotine into your system through the lining of your mouth rather than in your stomach (like most other gums.) It is important to minimize the swallowing of the dissolved product so that it can be properly absorbed in your mouth.

Fast release gum


Nic-Hit gum is a nicotine replacement therapy designed to help relieve cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking.

When chewed, the gum releases nicotine that is absorbed through the lining of the mouth, helping to reduce the urge to smoke and manage nicotine cravings.

Available in multiple strengths, Nic-Hit gum allows you to tailor your nicotine intake and gradually reduce usage over time as you progress toward a smoke-free life.
