###Human: Will smoking once a day with 9 to 10 Nicotex gums cause nicotine overdose? ###Assistant: Hi. My recommendations would be not to take Nicotine on regular basis. Instead of that, take it whenever you have craving for it. You may take up to 8 to 10 tablets initially, but you have to reduce that also, as few people get addicted to that also. I would recommend you to discuss with your doctor to put you on a medicine known as Bupropion for short duration as it reduces the cravings of cigarettes.
