Cheaper to buy cigarettes

Do these things really work ?

Thanks Anka - I understand now.

I'm always a bit dubious about substitutes to help in giving up addictions.

eg why would one buy alcohol-free beer when it doesn't give you the buzz that alcohol does ?

I've never tried nicotine replacement products but I did stop smoking cold turkey after 40 a day for 40 years. It didn't need will power - I just decided I had had enough of going out to the street to have a fag in the cold and the rain and having people looking pityingly at me as I did it. I thought " I'm better than this ".

It was uncomfortable for a day or two but no worse than that although occasional cravings lasted for a year or so when triggered by circumstances.

I was successful in giving up alcohol and cigarettes ( not at the same time ) because I really WANTED to.

Good luck if you try again.

How times have changed. When I worked at the BBC in the 60s, the studio control desks had built-in ashtrays :-)

This product has been used by a family member instead of cigarettes for the last few years. Replacement therapy and less damaging I guess. Now no longer wanted.
