Chew at least after 15 minutes of eating or drinking. Try to chew until you get the peppery taste of nicotine. Then, let the gum rest for some time.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Tobacco (nicotine) addiction: Smoking or chewing tobacco is both a psychological habit and physical dependence. Tobacco contains a chemical called nicotine, which is short-lived but highly addictive, and its regular usage can make a person crave it. Breathing or chewing tobacco provides a rush of adrenaline in the bloodstream, and it also triggers dopamine, which is associated with the pleasure and reward centre of the brain. Regular nicotine consumption is hazardous to health and puts a person at high risk of lung and heart diseases. However, quitting nicotine is not an easy task. It causes withdrawal symptoms in the body, including irritability, frustration, anger, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, restlessness, depressed mood and insomnia (sleeplessness or lack of sleep).
