Give Me Nicotine Now Or Die

Advantages: Cheaper Than Fags
Disadvantages: Becoming an ex-smoker

..., an action that will result in loss of jobs and therefore livelihood of many barstaff. So here I go I am about to join the nonsmoking part of the population and no longer be a social leper, great whoop dee doo. However before you lot go slapping yourself on the back and saying good on you I have made a pact with myself if I reach 70 I am going to start smoking again, just to really annoy you lot ok, and I am not giving up the odd Cuban cigar either so there. All righty then now that all that venom is cast out of my spleen I can get down to writing about these babies. NiQuitin CQ Nicotine 4mg Mint Gum is recommended for smokers who light up within half an hour of rising. Half an hour!!!!!!!! I can't wait that long I'd smoke in the shower if I could, and I have smoked in the bath as well, so these must be the ones for me. The instructions...

Review of NiQuitin CQ CQ Nicotine Mint Gum

Does the gum really work....

Advantages: health
Disadvantages: expensive..and expect to use gum for 3 months

...that the gum was hard, and once you had chewed for a few minutes I found that you had this boost of nicotine, that catches in the back if your throat, and therefore when I had a piece of gum, I needed something to drink. I had bought both the citrus and the mint ?I found the citrus to catch in my throat more so that the vague taste of mint. I did find a better brand of gum, but that?s for another op? Nicorette gum is available in Citrus and Mint in both 2mg and 4 mg and in different sizes 24 pieces is aprox £5.77 2mg 96 pieces aprox £19.00 I have used the gum for a successful for 6 weeks, the first few days were only difficult, because you don?t know what to do with your hands?.and I now feel that I could make it. I don?t use more that 6/8 pieces a day ,I tend to take a piece of gum when it seems most natural after meals ..when...

Review of Nicorette Nicotine Gum Full Strength

Nicorette gum

Advantages: are a good help if you are trying to quit smoking
Disadvantages: are expensive

...My husband was the smoker and had been smoking up till just over a year ago. My husband had been smoking since the age of 12 and seemed like he was smoking 40 a day but he only took a few puffs of the cigarette and put it out and about 5 minutes later would light up another cigarette. My husband just decided to throw his tobacco in the bin and said that today was the day. Anyway back to the subject of the nicorette gum my husband has been on these for just over a year and first he got them on the nhs and then he started buying them which are £5.69 for 30 pieces at the 2mg low strength and at that price every couple of days (as my husband gets them every couple of days) it does get quite expensive and he is finding it hard to quit because he still feels he needs the nicotine after a year and is finding it hard not to have the nicotine...

Review of Nicorette Nicotine Gum Full Strength

a cigarette shaped chewable gum would be more use

Advantages: its worth trying- if you really do want to give up smoking and need some help
Disadvantages: could be nothing more than a placebo

...WHY do I smoke? Because I am stressed. And I believe smoking helps in some vague way. My stress level goes up, I have a cigarette. I rarely enjoy smoking. But I do feel slightly relieved afterwards. I understand little about the chemistry involved... Scientists reckon nicotine in your blood does something I know-not-what. Scientists reckon if smokers get nicotine in a safer way... they can stop smoking... I've tried nicotine gum. I vowed when I woke up on the appointed, dreaded day, I would not light a cigarette ever again- theory being the nicotine in the blood is at its lowest after not smoking for about 8 hours whilst one sleeps. To help this suceed, in the weeks leading up to this dreaded day, I reduced my intake by timing my cigarettes- only one cigarette an hour, only one every 2 hours etc, and forcing myself to stick to...

I Still Wanted A Ciggie

Advantages: Cheaper and healthier than 20 ciggies
Disadvantages: Didn't stop me smoking

...I wasn't surprised that this category, prior to my op, was empty. In order to review a product and give an opinion on it you do have to try and gain some familiarity with it. Quite frankly when I tried this gum I had an overwhelming urge to spit it out and smoke a whole packet of ciggies rather than give up. But I persisted with it for a while. Nicobrevin Gum is perhaps one of the most bizarre aids to giving up smoking that you will come across. It's a nicotine free gum, claimed to be at its most effective when used along side the 'Nicobrevin 28 Day Capsule Course' (also nicotine free) but available to purchase alone as a support to break the habitual side of smoking addiction. The theory is that when you get the urge to reach for a ciggie you reach for the gum instead. You simply chew a piece until the taste disappears, and can...

Review of Nicobrevin Nicotine Free Gum

Texturising Gum,

Advantages: not greasy, easy to style
Disadvantages: none really

...I don?t normally do reviews on hair or cosmetic products but as this is something i use quite a lot in my hair then i thought id do one on it. Firstly this is quite cheap, i picked up a tub of this for less than a pound a while ago and its lasted me ages. Its very simple and easy to use too. You just rub a small amount into your fingers, a peanut sized amount should do, but perhaps less if you have shorter hair. The key to this is is use as little as possible to get the effect as then it doesn?t look greasy or like you have too much product in. The gum works really easily into the hair and its easy to distribute evenly as its not too thick, yet still quite firm in texture. When added, if you have shorter hair, then its easy to stick bits up, however longer hair just adds texture and you may have to use another product if you...

Review of Brylcreem b: Texturising Gum

Trouble gum

Advantages: Nice sour flavour
Disadvantages: So bad for your teeth, artificial.

...I am someone who likes to fidget and do something, and I often find that chewing gum is a good outlet for that. Today I was buying a magazine in my college shop (no more exams, ha ha!!) and at the counter, I decided on an impulse buy (ahhh capitalism working on me!) and I picked up a packet of Hubba Bubba bubble gum. The packet was 9cm long, and I thought, good good, nice lot of bubble gum to keep me going! I paid 30p for my packet, picked up my magazine and headed out the shop and proceeded to attack the packet to get to the bubble gum? But what disappointment, I realised that the packet only had 5 pieces in!!!! How scabby! Each piece is 2.5cm by 2cm, and that?s how the packet looks like it gives you a lot more than it actually does!! Hmph. The particular version I had was the Hubba Bubba Max, and has very distinctive packaging...

Review of Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum

Gum today,Gone tomorrow

Advantages: you get a nicotine hit ,and they"re cheaper than patches
Disadvantages: They taste disgusting,but then so do cigarettes

...My new years resolution was to give up smoking,and so was my husbands so when we finished our last fags we gave all our lighters away and put away all our ashtrays,and out came the gums.I was advised to take the low strength nicorette nicotine gums as i smoked between 10 and 15 cigarettes a day.My willpower got me through my first day on it"s own,but knowing i had the gums there for a nicotine hit was comforting,but by day two i was getting seriously agresive so i popped a gum in my mouth,but curiously you can"t just chew it(i thought that was the whole point)you have to chew and then when the taste gets strong you have to rest it in your cheek,and then when the taste goes you chew again,and so on until you"ve been chewing for 30 mins.Then you have to throw it away.Well i found after chewing for about 5 mins the taste was really strong...

Review of Nicorette Nicotine Gum Full Strength

nicorette gum yuck

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: Sickness burning still want to smoke

...the best thing I found was my doctor who prescribed me tablet unfortunatly if you suffer from any sort of depression dont take them they make you worse but you will recive regualr support from the nurses and they do work. Try support groups too they can be alot of help but if you set that date to quit stick to it but I would advise not to use these chewing gums they make you feel sick and will not help you quit....

Review of Nicorette Freshmint Gum

Trebor Extra Strong Gum - Peppermint

Advantages: Fresh, Minty, Cheap, 10 Pieces, Soft
Disadvantages: Doesnt Last Forever

...Trebor are known for their ever popular Extra Strong Mints, but they have recently converted their winning formula into a chewing gum with the same Extra Strong branding. I came across this brand of chewing gum in my local newsagents and immediately realised that it was a new product. Since buying the product I have seen this gum advertised on the television, something I don?t remember seeing with the Extra Strong Mint. Trebor Extra Strong peppermint gum comes in a package of approximately 2.5inches long by 1.5cm in width. The packet looks small in comparison to the other products in the shop by the chewing gum pellets look of average size. The packaging itself replicates that of the Extra Strong Mint, infact I think it?s almost identical. A green arrow goes from right to left across the packet and red 5 pointed star is placed in...
