Small, discreet but terrible

Advantages: Small. Discreet
Disadvantages: Can leave a rash, expensive

Well I still havent stopped smoking and to be honest these patches didn't help much at all. I smoke extremely heavily and would like to stop, however I havent found any replacement therapies which have helped. These patches come in three different strenghts. 21mg, 14mg and 7mg. These patches are the strongest brand on the market at the moment which can make them seem more appealing to heavy smokers, however I wouldnt advice them for light smokers. ...
...the dose you start with. I would then advice you to cut down on the patches every two months. Also ensure that you dont smoke while wearing one of these patches as you can be liable to nicotine poisoning which can make you extremely ill. If you do overdose on nicotine I would advice you to take the patch off immediately and consult your local GP or pharmacy. I however found these patches terrbile. They gave me a terrbile rash and I found that they ...

The taste of success.

Advantages: Actually stops you from wanting a cigarette. Not a bad price.
Disadvantages: The taste is vile and makes you feel sick.

...had a cigarette thanks to Nicotinell chewing gum. First let me tell you about the gum itself and what it does. Whats in the gum??? You may be thinking, Each piece of gum contains 4mg of nicotine in a resin complex (nicotine polacrilin 20mg). Other ingredients are gum base, calcium carbonate (E170), sorbitol (E420, 0.2g per piece, a source of 0.04g fructose), sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate (E500), glycerol (E422), levomenthol, butylated ...
...content: 11.5mg per piece. Nicotinell 4mg gum is a type of nicotine replacement therapy which helps you on your way to stopping smoking. When you chew it the nicotine is slowly released and then absorbed through the lining of the mouth. Just like when you smoke.This just helps to get rid of the unwanted withdrawal effects or cravings as they are called. I drove to asda to see what i could get to help me on my way to becoming smoke free, as i was ...

Try to say NO to this!

Advantages: Very affective
Disadvantages: Availability

Great product. I quit smoking two years ago using this product and it is great to be a non-smoker. I prefer these lozenges and recommend it to anyone who wants to quit. I did not tell myself that I am going to quit because I would retaliate against my own will. I just "postponed" by using these lozenges each time I felt like smoking. I got in the habit of using it with a good cup of coffee and in no time I "forgot" all about smoking. I still smoked ...
...After a couple of weeks I did not feel the need to smoke at all. The price average around £10 per box containing 96 lozenges. I used about two boxes a week vs. 7 to 10 packets of cigarettes a week. A saving of around £80 a month! There are 8 sheets of 12 lozenges in a box. I used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day and used about 12 to 20 lozenges when I changed over. Don't get the idea wrong. It is still harmful as this product contains 4, 2 or 1mg of ...

I've tried two times with the patches, but both times they did not work for me.They would work for 5 or six days, then the cravings got unbearable.I was on the edge, always being tensed and very nervous.My kids we're ready for me to start back smoking. Now, I'm not saying that the patches ain't for anyone, but they sure wasn't for me.They would make me have very real like dreams and my legs would have cramps and burn.The patches would leave red ...
...I really don't know which one is the worst for you.They both can harm or kill you.Everyone knows what the side affects of smoking is, but the side affects of the patches are just as dangerous.You can overdose on the nicotine if body gets to much. If can kill your pets or children if they we're to get a hold of them.Here are some of the other side effects you can have; Nausea and vomitting Abdominal or stomach pain vivid dreams dizziness dryness ...
