Hiya and welcome

There's lots of helpful people on here so post whenever you feel a crave coming, or to show off how well you're doing

What's the spray like?

Hi if im honest its really not for me. I don't doubt that it has its uses but I think I am using it a little too much.Just binned it and going to try normal chewing gum.

Thanks I've heard it's a bit too strong :eek: so I use the mini lozenges or the nicotine gum!!

I get through a hell of a lot of Extra too - am buying it by the retail pack

Yea. It says to spray it into your mouth and try and hold it there for a few seconds. don't matter how I did it I always ended up coughing my lungs up or with really bad hiccups.

Whats the nicotine gum like ?

That sounds horrible!!

Will definitely give that a miss.

I use Nicorette gum, the Freshfruit and the mint Icy White are the nicest IMO - some of the flavours are minging, especially the "original" one.

Basically you chew it until the taste is strong, then pop it against your cheek until it fades, then repeat. It definitely takes the edge off

Think im going to give them a go.

Really didn't think I would need anything with the patches but keep getting bad stomach cramps and headaches. Not sure if that's normal or being caused by the spray or patches. Like I said going to change to the gum and see how that goes.:confused:

Hiya well done on ur quit, how long were you on the 21mg patches for has it been since last Wednesday? I would say if you were a 20 day plus smoker to try and stick with the 21mg patches for a bit longer, 14mg might not be enough to curb it, ive had the spray before too, it's horrible isn't it? Really peppery tasting not like mint at all,mine was in the black bottle nicorette mist I think? Didn't work at all it didn't hit the spot for me, whatever you choose good luck with it x

Hi aa

Welcome to the boards,they are great and you will get loads help and info here.

When I tried the 21 g patch...many moons ago they made me I'll too and headaches..the chemist said they can have that effect,esp if you are taking in more nic than you did before...say if you were a light smoker...

Any way good luck on your quit

Thanks for the welcome.

I do drink quite a lot during the day,mainly water so I don't think im de-hydrated.

Im not really a headache person so can only assume that its to do with withdrawal. :confused:
