Question
Dear Rabbi
My name is Liad from israel
I use gums of nicorette to stop smoking
I saw an answer from your site that its kosher and other documents
that it is not recomanded as kosher.
Can I use this gums?
thank you
Answer
Shalom Liad,
I don't know where you saw that nicotine gums are kosher.
I asked the Kashrut department of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. The Rabbinate didn't give a Kashrut certificate to nicotine gums, only to "Nicotinal Lachsaniyot" (ניקוטינל לכסניות).
