A member asked:

Which is better nicorette (nicotine gum) patches or nicorette (nicotine gum)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: The patch provides the most sustained levels of nicotine and probably works best for most people. The nicorette (nicotine gum) gum can be successful as well, but most people don't chew enough pieces during the day to be effective. It really comes down to personal preference and tolerability.
