You are on good way to quit smoking. Slowly try to reduce nicotex gum also. Nothing is impossible, when you are able to quit smoking, this not a big deal to quit these gums, reduce it slowly day by day.
Best wishes

Hello dear user,
Good morning, excess intake of nicotex gums are also harmful for health. You can take some healthy food items instead of necotix gums like take saunf, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, alwain, seeds mukhwas, flaxseed pumpkin seeds riasted mukhwas and all such things.

Hi,
No quitting cigarette means quitting cigarette completely alongwith these smoking cessation aids. It's not safe. Stop it completely.
