Nicorette contains nicotine, which is addictive. However, it is generally considered to be a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes.

If you are trying to quit smoking completely, you should eventually wean yourself off Nicorette as well.

Keep Nicorette out of the reach of children and pets, as accidental consumption can be poisonous.

Using Nicorette along with smoking cigarettes can increase your risk of certain side effects, including heart attack, stroke, and lung cancer.
