My mom was trying to quit about a week ago and I saw her go threw 2 packs of gum. Why would gum help? I just don't understand it. She said it was he nerves. I dont know. Does anyone have any better suggestions on how to quit?

Smoking casn be an oral fixation. So gum can help. You are still putting something in your mouth. Just not a cig. It can be especially helpful if it is nicotine gum. That helps with the cravings. The nerves feeling is coming from the nicotine.
