Brief answer....yes,consumption of even one nicotine gum is harmful.
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query.
Although you think that you may be consuming just one or two gums but the fact is that nicotine in any amount is harmful to your body.
It increases the chances of cardiovascular injury to your body.
It constricts arteries which can lead to acute cardiac ischaemic events and hypertension.
It can contribute towards development of stroke,peptic ulcer,esophageal reflux diseases,mouth cancers etc.
Be away from it and make sure that you don't consume any nicotine gum.
A sustained addiction of even one gum will always keep you hooked for regular craving of nicotine and this may ultimately propel you towards regular smoking.
I hope it helps however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
You have basically 2 problems
1st addiction to tobacco
2nd premature ejaculation
Basically smoking one should use nicotine gums together with counselling with a psychiatrist who teaches special behavioural change techniques.
Using nicotine gums only would definitely fail.
Similarly as far premature ejaculation is concerned,treatment involves...
Quitting alcohol and smoking
It is perfectly treatable condition since most of the times the cause is psychosexual and so counselling sessions with a psychiatrist and short course of medications,you can be treated very well.
These medications are prescription based and hence you have to consult a doctor for this.
These drugs are PAROXETINE,DAPOXETINE etc.
In addition you are advised to do KEGEL exercises which are specific exercises meant to increase the power of pelvic floor muscles.
Since your both problems can be solved by counselling sessions by a psychiatrist you must
consult him and get proper professional management for both of your problems.
Thanks
