Hi Jimbo,

I used patches and saw them as a useful aid to quitting the smokes. Wasn't cheating in my eyes, nor those of thousands of others.

What ever get you there, is good.

All the best to you, stay strong, stay focused. Cut it down as and when you feel it's right for you.

I thought that too Jimbo but then decided i was still quitting smoking as i'm not technically 'smoking' anything.

I have to fool my brain into thinking differently lol

I'm starting to get those thoughts too! I'm using patches and have the inhalor for bad cravings! Keep reading about people killing the nico demon and i'm worried cos i'm not but as you all said, we're not smoking!!!

I did 1 week on patches and gum, then went on to max strength gum for 1 week, then lower strength gum for a few weeks and then nothing for the last few weeks.

My rationale was that I needed to break the habit of smoking and once I'd done that I'd rid myself of the nicotine.

So far (fingers crossed) it's worked for me.

Oh and chocolate and cake at all times and in vast quantities!

Hi Jimbo, I am using patches & lozenges to help me and they do! Ideally I would like to do this cold turkey but have tried and can't. All that maters to me is that I quit so if NRT is the way forward then so be it.
