Niquitin CQ Lozenges - Have helped me!

Advantages: Helps you to quit smoking! I found it helped with food cravings
Disadvantages: Funny taste to begin with

I was recommended these by my GP when visiting their 'stop smoking' clinic. I found the lozenges very useful and help with any cravings. They come in 4mg for heavier smokers and 2mg for the milder smoker. The flavours are either plain (taste a bit sweet) or mint flavour (Minty!). You are meant to place one between your cheek and gums and alternate between each side of the mouth, they slowly dissolve in about 30 mins or so. The great thing I found ...
...as you cannot eat or drink when you have one in your mouth. The taste takes a short while to get used to (a bit spicey maybe?) but not long. You start with 1 lozenge every 1 - 2 hours then gradually reduce the amount you have over a period of time (The pack comes with instructions). Overall I found this to be a good product and have given up for nearly 2 months!! ...

Old ladys with pins!!

Advantages: the packet is shiny, you dont smell
Disadvantages: itching, craving, sarcasm, grumpiness, the stupid price

so a few days ago i decided to have my last cigarette. it was a glorious day and i stepped outside, sat under a tree and smoked my last ever smoke. i was slightly dissapointed that my last smoke had to be a pall mall, but i enjoyed it all the same. i got a packet of seven full strength, 24hr patches thinking that after this week i would be fine and i wouldnt need them anymore. the price pissed me off at $32, i only spend half that on cigarettes a ...
...the first day i didnt use the patches because i wanted to wait untill the next day before i put one on.thinking i could go a day without a smoke easy. so i woke up early the next day after a troubled nights sleep of craving a smoke. had a shower and put one of those bad boys on. all was going fine for about ten minutes. untill it started to itch . . . . .. now this is no ordinary itch, this is the sort of itch that makes you want to smoke. Although ...

Wicked-510 TITAN E-NI or Electronic Nicotine / Cigarette

Advantages: No smell, no tar, no CO2
Disadvantages: Can be expensive at the start, refilling carts can get messy, potentially dangerous

I've tried many electronic cigarettes / inhalators on the market and in its category this in one of the best. The idea behind this sort of device is to give you an alternative to smoking tobacco products, although it is important to mention that these aren't marketed as a smoking cessation device. The Titan 510 is a three piece device made up from a battery, an atomiser and a cartridge. Since using this (and other similar ones) I have not smoked ...
...The batteries are either automatic (in that they activate when you draw upon it like a normal cigarette) or manual whereby you press a button to switch it on. They're often advertised with a life of about 4 hours, but I've found that half this is the case. The atomiser which sits in the middle, despite its space age name, is essentially a tiny heating coil that heats the liquid and produces the vapour that your breathe in. Finally the cartridge is ...

Royal Smokers' M7, my first e-cigarette

Advantages: no smoke, no tar, no burning side-products, you don't smell nasty, no ash, you can smoke in bed!
Disadvantages: starting price, battery needs charging kinda often, you feel funny at first

The M7 e-cigarette from Royal Smokers I reckon almost everyone's heard about an electronical cigarette already. But what is it really good for, what does it feel like and isn't it maybe even worse (healthwise) than ordinary cigarettes? That were questions I was asking myself after a mate introduced his e-cigarette to me a couple of weeks ago, so I started my own research. Entering the first big tobacco shop and asking about e-cigarettes I ...
...them and I hope we never will, coz it's way worse than the normal cigarettes, it's even way more expensive...blabla!" This got me even more curious. The e-cigarette consists of: 1. Battery - the long part, which in a normal cigarette would be filled with tobacco. The battery is a rechargeable Li-on and lasts approx. as long as a pack of regular smokes. In the M7 package you get only an USB charger, but it's not a problem to get an adapter ...

Side Effects of Champix???

Advantages: Stops you smoking without replacing the nicotine with nicotine
Disadvantages: A few side effects to be aware of.

This is the second attempt I have made to stop smoking using Champix. The first time I never finished the 3 month course as I thought I had conquered the nicotine demons. Unfortunately after 4 months of being stopped I found myself back on the fags so this is the first tip I can strongly give you. FINISH THE COURSE- even if you think you have beaten the craven for a puff- you probably have not. This is the whole reason the course is conducted over ...
...were pretty much what is said in the leaflet for the 1 in 100 - drowsiness and slight nausea. But if I had read the leaflet further I would have discovered i was more unique than first thought- I could not stop passing wind( my girlfriend says the smell of cigarettes was better but i think she's pulling my leg). I have also had indegestion which i only recently discovered is a side effect. On the whole though I have stopped smoking(only slipped ...
