Hi bonnie, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had such a lot to cope with and you’ve done amazingly well under the circumstances. Let’s help you come up with a plan to quit smoking.

First of all decide which nicotine replacement to use. There are so many but perhaps a patch to give you a constant supply and then something like inhalator for that hand to mouth action

You are not alone, we’re here to help so stay close 🤗xx

Welcome Bonnie thanks for joining us. I really feel for you and you deserve to be treated better than that. Briarwood has given you excellent advice already. If you have a look through our pinned posts there is lots of information and tips to get you started.

I too have copd like any others on here , so we understand how you are, Stopping smoking will certainly help in more ways than one,

I personally found the inhalator worked for me and I found that a certain well known pharmacy had offers on their own brand which was ideal.

Please remember take it one day at a time , its never easy but keep popping on here and we will help you. , even if you just need a chat. It doesnt have to relate to smoking we love chatting on here . Its dancing and singing thats the topic at the moment .🤣🤣

Look forward to suppoting you. ☺️x

p.s. I have entered your name in the Buddy Club which is optional .

Not what you're looking for?
