Which product has a maximum daily dose described in pieces per day?

• A. Nicotine patch
• B. Nicotine gum
• C. Nicotine lozenge
• D. Nicotine nasal spray

Answer: (B)

Dosing for gum is described in pieces per day because you chew discrete gum pieces and decide how many to use to control cravings. Each piece releases nicotine, so the total daily exposure is managed by the number of pieces chewed, with a typical maximum around 24 pieces per day to balance relief with side effects. The other forms use different units: patches are described by milligrams per patch and used once daily; lozenges are counted in lozenges per day; nasal spray is counted in sprays per day. Since the question asks for “pieces per day,” nicotine gum is the only option that uses that specific unit.
