Hello, I'm starting my camino from Pamplona early September via the Frances route, I'm so very appreciative of all your efforts to help newbies make sense of the camino! I wouldn't have the courage to do it if not for this forum. Thank you very much!
My question is, will I be able to buy nicotene gum along the way? Or should I bring a 6 week supply? Lord that would be heavy.
I know I should just stop the habit but I've been using it since 1992 so don't really think that's realistic. Lol, bizarre question but can anyone help?

In Spain, I have bought nicotine gum at pharmacies, I think it is the only place, you can buy it. I haven't seen nicotine gum in other stores.
Buen Camino to you.

Take an example with you to Rx for show/tell. Local refer to Nicotine gum as “chicklets.”

Nicotine gum and lozenges are readily available at the farmacia throughout Spain. But take a sample unless you speak Spanish.

Yes it's available from pharmacies/chemist shops.but I found it much dearer in Spain than here in Ireland.
