Good job dorset i'm hot on your heels . Gonna get myself an inhalator next week might make things easier . Skint until then . Gonna buy the box of 42 . How many cartridges are you using a day? Was hoping a box would last me a couple of weeks .

I think it depends on how many you used to smoke.

It says you can use up to 12 cartridges per day, but that would make it real expensive. I am using my left over chewing gum , and maybe 4 - 6 cartridges a day . Today I am feeling again a huge craving and I probaly will use more. I had already 3.

I should've gone to my GP and asked for a presciption. I bought the first at boots , really expensive, but if you buy them over an online chemist you get a better deal....still expensive though.

I will have to put up with it for now. I try to think how much I would spend on cigarettes on a daily basis ......;) , that helps a little and I always found money for cigarettes.

pfaber , I keep turning around to see if you still behind me getsmile.com/emoticons/smil...

Good job to the both of you. Have you tried quitting without the NRT's? I'm not saying you should, it's all different from person to person, but I think many people would be amazed if they knew how much easier it gets after 3-4 days. After just 1 week I only got cravings when I put myself in special situations, like hanging out with smokers or drinking beer, etc. And those situations have nothing to do with nicotine cravings, it's all mental.

Not what you're looking for?
