What is Vont Nicotine Gum?
Answer: Vont Nicotine Gum is a tobacco-free gum containing nicotine, available in 1 mg/g and 3 mg/g, manufactured in Sweden and delivered in plastic-reduced paper packaging.
The gum delivers nicotine through the oral mucosa. It is vegan and designed for discreet use in everyday life.
Why is health important for smokers in Switzerland?
Answer: Smoking has been proven to increase cardiovascular risks and the likelihood of certain types of cancer; controlled, tobacco-free alternatives can reduce these risks, but not eliminate them.
In Switzerland, the sale of nicotine products to persons under the age of 18 is prohibited. Well-informed product selection can reduce costs and burdens in the long term.
How does Vont nicotine gum work, step by step?
Answer: Application in 5 easy steps.
- Take a piece of gum in the selected strength (3 mg/g).
- Chew slowly about 8–12 times until you can taste the nicotine.
- "Park": Place the gum between your cheek and gum so that the nicotine is absorbed through the mucous membrane.
- Chew and park again as needed to control absorption.
- Dispose of the gum properly after use; keep out of reach of children.
Who is Vont suitable for – and who is it not suitable for?
Answer: Suitable for adult smokers (18+) who want a tobacco-free, discreet source of nicotine and plastic-reduced packaging. Not suitable for young people, non-smokers, pregnant women, or people with serious cardiovascular disease without medical consultation.
Legal, regulatory, and financial issues (Switzerland)
Answer: Sale to adults only (18+). Nicotine products are subject to the Tobacco Products Act (TPA) and cantonal implementations; advertising and packaging are regulated.
Note: This product contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance.
Practical example / mini case
Answer: Example: A 34-year-old from Zurich reduced his cigarette consumption from ~20 to less than 5 per day within 3 months by using the chewing gum specifically when he felt the urge to smoke. The discreet use in the office was cited as a decisive advantage.
