How should I take Nicstick?

Current nicotine replacements have been somewhat successful but do have some disadvantages. The Patch does not allow for individual tailoring of dosage as it comes in a constant feed format with 3 different strengths. It is often hard to keep on and due to the occlusive covering, skin irritations can develop. There are reports of people developing sleep disorders and nightmares and even a report of hallucinations! Nicotine Gum is better than the patch according to many but does have an unpleasant taste. The gum has lead to dental and jaw problems, caused upset stomachs and has caused some of the patients to become addicted to the gum. Nothing to chew, nothing to wear and Nicstick is safe, having only 6mg/g of active nicotine in the entire stick - and that's less than other dosage forms.

How should Nicstick be stored?

Store in a dry place at room temperature between 59° - 86°F. Keep out of reach of children and pets
