I'd love to see a study that shows true percentages of how many people were successful in quitting cigarettes using the patch, gum or any other nicotine replacement method.
For me personally, I could've flushed hundreds down the toilet instead for all the good those did for me.
The brits have a different outlook on health care.
A money thing. With a public health care system the healthier people are the more money the govt saves.
Over here the healthier people are the less money private health care makes and it might even drop the GDP a bit...
Not a political statement just a financial reality.
Same here nic gum, patches chantix, etc.I used nicorette, it was a total waste of time and money. What the the FDA and big P don't get ts that nicotine is only part of the addiction. After 40 years of smoking I found it was more the physical act of smoking that was the biggest addiction. Holding something in your hand, taking a puff, that is why vaping works.

Ohh I could quit but not stay quit for very long. Long enough to get over the nic fix but the hapit of motions, etc kept dragging me back.
! week on cigalikes and I smoked my last cig 3+ years ago.
I always thought that the FDA approved nicorette lozenges for smoking cessation.
I saw a commercial the other day, they had a guy on a plane who wanted to smoke real bad and it promoted the lozenges for times when you would but can not smoke.
Obviously they weren't suggesting he always use the lozenges in place of smoking because the whole commercial took place on a plane.
If the FDA approved this "medicine" for smoking cessation then why is it being promoted for off label use?
Think of it as temporary smoking cessation.If the FDA approved this "medicine" for smoking cessation then why is it being promoted for off label use?
True they do work for a short smoking pause.Think of it as temporary smoking cessation.
I've used NRTs that way for decades. Plane trips were just about the only occasion where I couldn't smoke (or for the last five years, vape) for an extended period of time. They always did a pretty good job of suppressing the urge to open the emergency exit and climb out on the wing for a smoke, which is of course a very bad idea at 35,000 feet. But I still wanted a smoke the moment I got out of the airport.
