When you feel like smoking, slowly chew one piece over 30 to 60 minutes with intervals.

Once you get used to quitting smoking (about one month), reduce the daily number of pieces by 1 to 2 pieces each week, and stop using when the daily number reaches 1 to 2 pieces. The usage period is about 3 months.
