Comment 1[edit]

Nicoderm does not equal Nicorette. These are entirely different technologies.

Does someone with pharmeceutical knowledge of nicorette have an opinion on whether the claim that is does not work (or its effect is greatly reduced) by the consumption of tea, coffee, or alcohol?
I am asking because I wonder if the story is (1) true (2) exaggerated or (3) false. I have been trying to quit smoking for a while and this story/rumour affects what I do. Seminumerical 03:48, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe that Nicorette is different than any other nicotine gum (or chewing tobbacco for that matter). [1] has a comment about it. My non-chemist self belives that it has more to do with the was that the combination of mouth and nicotine react in the presence of acids. I could be wrong Syrrys 22:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

effectiveness of nicorette[edit]

Nicorette patch is effective also during consumption of tea, coffee or beer. It works. But you must keep the 3 steps: 15 mg patch- 1 month 10 mg patch- 1 month 5 mg patch - 1 month.


other comment[edit]

Nicorette is a brand of chewing gum designed as a smoking cessation aid - it is not the name of this category of products. I would call the overall category 'smoking cessation aids' or 'nicotine based smoking cessation aids' or something like that. Commit is the lozenge form of this product. These products are made with 'nicotine polacrilex' which is a purified (extracted or synthesized - I'm not sure) form of nicotine which is easy to adsorb through the mouth. I don't know much about what is in 'the patch' (nicoderm), but my comments below apply to 'the patch' as well.

These products ('nicotine based smoking cessation aids') work because they give a smoker their 'fix' of nicotine while they stop smoking. However, there is a behavioral and psychoactive component to nicotine addiction. Thus, smokers are addicted to nicotine but also have years of performing the physical acts of smoking which become habit - the hand to mouth ritual, the coffee/newspaper ritual, the regular break with co-workers, etc. Thus, smokers have to kick their nicotine addiction AND re-arrange the associated behaviors. These products work by letting smokers deal with re-arranging those behaviors while giving them a convenient format to slowly wean off the nicotine habit.

The relative importance of the psychopharmacological/behavioral aspects of the smoking experience may have something to do with how successful use of these 'nicotine based cessation aids' will be for an individual smoker.

If a smoker becomes addicted to one of these 'nicotine based smoking cessation aids' the net effect would probably be greatly beneficial for the smoker anyway. Nicotine has some cardiovascular problems (and is toxic in high doses) - it's main is evilness lies in it's addictive properties. I'm not even sure if nicotine itself is carcinogenic - but PLENTY of other stuff in tobacco is. So - developing a habit with nicotine gums/lozenges isn't great, but I would wager that it certainly safer than smoking. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.30.247.29 (talk) 00:42, 13 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Combination nicotine replacement: research needed[edit]

Would greater success rates be achieved if chewing nicorette gum were combined with other strategies, including:

  • Vaporizer-- once or twice a day, using the same brand of cigarette tobacco one has been used to but tearing a small pinch right from the cigarette-- or cigar-- and using it in a vaporizer instead. Heats to under 410° F., avoids combustion toxins, especially carbon monoxide.
  • E-cigarette: vaporizes liquid nicotine, flavored to your taste, from a cartridge in the mouthpiece. Propylene glycol added to produce a smokelike fog, product shaped and colored to provide tactile pleasure of handling a "cigarette". Use away from home where you don't carry a vaporizer.
  • Single-toke one-hitter: narrow screened crater with long drawtube. Burns, but at minimum temperature, 25-mg. serving (or 28 from the tobacco in one commercial cigarette).

Nicotine is not the issue-- the only abstinence needed is from ever again torching up another 700-mg. not-burning overdose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tokerdesigner (talk • contribs) 17:43, 24 October 2008 (UTC) j I DOTN MJ@WEJGTBFWKRBK this is for to stop smoking AND BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BY CHLOLE EDDINS21:30, 14 May 2018 (UTC)21:30, 14 May 2018 (UTC)21:30, 14 May 2018 (UTC)21:30, 14 May 2018 (UTC)184.53.33.111 (talk) 21:30, 14 May 2018 (UTC)⊅⊅∵∪∭1⁄⁄[reply]

Could someone explain to me the after affects of this so called way to stop smoking? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.131.70.31 (talk) 08:36, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Third-party template removal[edit]

I suggest "Third-party" template to be removed from this article. Looks like it has enough links to trusted sources. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:55, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Done This action is overdue. When the tag was placed in November 2011 the article had no references and relied on external links to the company and product websites. Now it has 33 refs, many to impeccable sources: Noyster (talk), 10:13, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merging the article with Nicoderm[edit]

I oppose the idea of merging this article with Nicoderm. Nicoderm is a local (US only) brand and it's patches only. Nicorette is a global brand with wider product line. These two are not the same thing. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 06:02, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not seeing justification for a merge. We have the article on the general topic of nicotine replacement therapy and both products are linked from there. I'd ping the proposer MathewTownsend only he's been long since blocked: Noyster (talk), 10:26, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. I'll remove this 2 year-old tag. If anything, both should be merged to the generic article, but I think this one at least should remain independent. Johnbod (talk) 06:07, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

EML[edit]

This proprietary product is not on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. There is an entry for nicotine replacement therapy, which is where the category Category:World Health Organization essential medicines belongs, not on this one. --RexxS (talk) 02:15, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've been going over all the entries in Category:World_Health_Organization_essential_medicines, and this is the only brand item I have noticed, which is why I brought it up at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine#Nicorette_-_brand_name_given_special_treatment?. Nicotine replacement therapy is in the category, so I think it's properly covered. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 03:24, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
