What Causes Choking After Ingestion Of Nicotine Gum For Long Time?

i am concerned because i often chew nicotine gum and sometimes don t take it out when i go to sleep. this seems like a choking hazard haha but i sometimes i can t sleep without the relief i get from the nicotine. this is probably something i ll have to figure out for myself, (ie just not do it). I was just searching the web to see if there was anyone had had similar experiences.

Hello,

You can use nicotine patches during night. I suggest you to consult your psychiatrist prescription of correct dosage of nicotine patch.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
