NICORETTE Gum HELP NEEDED –can you bring down some for me?

I can only find MINT Nicorette (something I do not like as much as the original) at one pharmacy in Chapala. If you know any local pharmacies that have it stocked let me know.

If you have any Nicorette gum you are not using, I will buy it from you. If you know a local pharmacy that sells it (original, but mint will do) let me know.

IF YOU ARE VISITING THE STATES and can bring me down some of the original non mint flavored Nicorette gun, I will pay for it and your time and effort,

Please do not suggest other methods because the gum worked before and will work again.

PM if you can help. Thanks in advance

As of about two months ago, these products are now banned from entering Mexico. Check everywhere you can and buy up what was imported before this went into effect. chico

All that I know is that a friend of mine who lived on it to help her withdrawal for many, many years, told me this and she is going ballistics and her husband is going nuts. Now, a second poster. Same problem. I Googled it, but could not find the information. This same person posted the same question on TOB and other people also chimed in that it was no longer available here. I know, it sounds too strange to be true and I should have posted it as rumor and not fact. I apologize for not doing so, but would sure be interested in if anyone finds anyone that can import it any longer, as their current supplies run out. Let's find out. I just posted it on the Mirador, where it will get a lot more attention chico

Nail on head chico, people get hooked on nicorette, which is far more expensive than cigarettes.

Yeah, but much better on the lungs.

I've heard that nicotine addition is stronger that that of heroin. Good luck on quitting. Not funatall.

Chico wrote:Congrats, Jim. Keep up the good work. I did stop in and talk to Claudia this morning, and as far as she knows, there is no such ban and pointed to 12 boxes of Nicorette gum sitting on her shelves. chico

I am looking for Cinnamon or the regular flavored Nicorette 4mg or 2mg and left word to see if they can get it for me because TO ME it looks like it is available and NOT illegal.

My purpose is that the regular has a "bite" to it and then I go to cinnamon gum non nicotine. This worked before and I WILL do it again. Just under a few big stressors but will be smoke free soon. Meanwhile I am collecting all I can get.

By the way, there are great instructions on how to use it on the main Nicorette
website. 2 pack a day people should start with 4mg gum not 2 mg.

Now my computer is acting bad. Ashtray is still here but soon in the basura.

The so-called "ban" may be a limit on the personal import of nicotine products, just like you can only bring in X number of boxes of cigarettes back with you. Sounds like a rumor that got all out of proportion.

It sure was and I feel bad that I contributed to it without knowing the facts. chico
