:) As far as I know, there are maybe 4 or 5 LWers total who ever use nicotine gum without having previously smoked. (Although I have no idea how common we are in general.)
Patches don't sting your throat and they are easier to cut into precise quantities. I don't plan on using the gum again. I have never smoked a cigarette and probably never will.
Nicotine lozenges are much nicer than nicotine gum.
[I don't take them recreationally - I used them to give up cigarettes a while ago] .
