Non smoking Aids like Nicorette are not the way to quit for you smokers out there. Non smoking Aids like nicorette relieve the chemical dependence your body has without nicotine by giving you milder doses of it. So the vast Majority of people who use nicotine substitutes fail. willpower and the realization that's you'll save alot of money should be enough

@mrspringy2008 Yeah I am still smoking, but I think the heart attack was linked to a panic attack in the middle of the night....... long story,,,,

i smoked 100 grams of white ox a week, the only way to give up is to just stop!!! replacement therapys only prolong the agony of withdrawls! it about stoppin the emotional compulsion to smoke. When trying to give up ;you may feel like life is about to end, but it NOT! the feelings will pass, just dont light up, each time you resist the easier it gets. Dont get me wrong i know how hard it is ive done it. but the results of not not quitting will be harder
