Nicorette is a nicotine replacement remedy. But has it been shown that it can potentially be carcinogenic? I can't find any info on the packaging.

Nicorette is a branded over-the-counter palliative treatment which is used to ameliorate the withdrawal effects involved in quitting smoking. Originally available as a patch for topical application, it was later made available as a nicotine gum (composed of nicotine polacrilex) lozenge, inhaler, and nasal spray. All these products contain nicotine as the active ingredient and work by delivering this into the bloodstream. These treatments are commonly referred to as nicotine replacement therapies.

Alternative brand names include Prostep®, Habitrol®, Nicotrol®, Nicoderm, and Commit®.

SIDE EFFECTS: Because this gum contains nicotine, it has a peppery-like taste. It may cause a tingling sensation when chewed. During the first few days of using this medication, you may experience mouth sores, jaw muscle aches, increased saliva production, indigestion, or headache. These effects should disappear as use of the gum is continued. Chewing the gum too fast can cause lightheadedness, dizziness, hiccups, nausea, vomiting or insomnia. If these effects occur, chew the gum more slowly. Notify your doctor if you develop symptoms of too much nicotine in your body: cold sweats, fainting, confusion, pounding heart. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

SO USE OF NICORATTE DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER- But at the same time it should not be abused. -
