JESSICA Simpson is addicted to nicotine chewing gum — but has never smoked a cigarette.

The former singer/actress — who’s reportedly learning to embrace her “sexy” curves — told chat show host Jay Leno the gum gives her the energy of”‘three cans of Red Bull”.

“I am addicted to Nicorette gum, I actually spat it out and put it on my water bottle before I came out,” she said.

“Never in my life have I smoked.

“The first time I ever chewed a piece of Nicorette gum one of my close friends’ mother gave it to me.

“I think she thought she was giving me a piece of regular gum.

“I was chewing it and it was like a party in my mouth. It was like fireworks and ‘Oh my god, I’m talking a million miles per hour and I love this gum and what kind of gum is this? I have to have this gum’.

“It’s Nicorette and it gives me energy — it’s like drinking three Red Bulls.”
