Brief Answer:
Yes they can be used at the same time.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Wellbutrin is Bupropion and the drug is an anti anxiety and anti depressant drug. The drug is also used in smoking cessation treatments to reduce craving. Nicotine gums are nicotine replacement gums. There is no contraindication in using both at the same time. Mild anxiety may occur but that is seen in only in some cases.

Thanks, Please don't hesitate to ask again for more doubts.
