When my husband and I tried Chantex they told us not to use any other form of nicotine.
Not sure why. Chantex had a really bad affect on my husband. So it didn't work for us.

No, it isn't okay. One or the other, never both.

Chantix blocks nicotine receptors in the brain; therefore, the gum will be a waste, because it will have absolutely no effect on you. So money down the drain is all it would be. Maybe regular gum to keep your mouth "busy"?

I'm doing just the gum because I have PTSD (so they say) and my doctor was concerned about flashbacks and other issues that arise from Chantix use.

Hope this helps, and best of luck! Been smoking for 45 years, quit the 15th, and I'm doing well!
