Are Nicorettes Harmful For Babies?

I was given 2 nicorettes to try from a friend and ate one (hated it) and put the other one away a shelf in the kitchen. My 2 year old has become quite the adventurer and used his new playdesk to access the counter and ultimately the shelf. he ate the one piece. Should there be a major concern?

Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. People who use nicotine replacement therapy are being warned of the harm it can do to children. Nicotine gum, lozenges and related products are safe if used by smokers at recommended dosages, but major overdoses can cause symptoms including irregular pulse, breathing difficulties. I don't know how many hours passed by, please take your child to a health facility for poison treatment. It is essential.

Good luck. Happy New Year. Take care.
