Nicotene replacement

After watching the episode of casualty yesterday I've finally been put off smoking unfortunatly I've not been put off missing nicotene. Now I am in the strange position of being desperate for nicotene/ a fag but the last time I attempted to smoke one I felt distinctly unwell. Can anyone reccomend a brand, form of nicotene replacement therapy that actually works?

Re: Nicotene replacement

Get your G.P. to give you a prescription for bupropian (Zyban), which reduces the craving for nicotine. As far as I'm aware, using bupropian with patches increases synergistic efficacy and is more successful longterm.

Re: Nicotene replacement

get to your local Safeway and ask to join the smoking cessation clinic and get a months supply of patches for the price of a prescription.

Provided you live within Glasgow

Re: Nicotene replacement

Avoid the temptation to snack instead btw, you'll be a fattie in no time otherwise. I've seen it happen loads of times.

Re: Nicotene replacement

DID you see that woman smoking through her throat? It was fucking minging.

Nicorete chewing gum actually put me off quitting its rank. Best bet is to go cold turkey!

I can do cold turkey - as long as I don't get too stressed and don't live with smokers. Unfortunatly I do live with smokers...

I've been trying to remember the name of that stuff for the past few months. Heard about it from a Polish Doctor when I was at a conference in July. From what I've heard it is quite a succesful drug.

Re: Nicotene replacement

I was using Nicogel for a while. It worked fine and when I tried to have a sly cig I was repulsed and would gag a wee bit. Just a shame I went back to smoking tho

I was doing that for a while, then I switched to bongs.

This also seems to have had the rather jolly psychological side-effect that tobacco now seems kind of crap by comparison.

Re: Nicotene replacement

Come and sit where I'm sitting in Strathy Uni library. The guy next to me just went out for a fag, and has come back smelling like a garbage can.

I'm gonny boak. I've lived with smokers, but this guy is RIDICULOUS.
