yea i see i miss worded a few things there, thanks for pointing that out.
I think we need to establish firstly what your meaning of cold turkey is...
An example, My mom is on champix currently and has been for 2 weeks "trying" to quit. Champix as you said is an aid to help you quit. Now during this period my mom has still been smoking and i honestly dont see how any tablet or anything similar can get rid of the habits. The habits are what cause most people to start smoking again, you kind of dont know what to do when you would usually pick up a cigarette.
My definition of going cold turkey is completely stopping smoking BUT you can still use "aids" to help. If you look at my post i actually replaced the habits with smoking weed which technically was my "aid" if you want to call it that. I fully understand why people will need an aid to help but i dont agree that using an aid and carrying on smoking will make you stop, how can it? thats why in my advice i said its best to just go to bed one night and finish the box and just dont buy again. Also if your partner smokes you both have to quit or it will never work. I was still staying with my parents at the time I quit and they still smoked in the house so the temptation was there but i just used willpower to not steal one on the sly and also everytime i felt like a smoke i hit a bong..
It definitely is tough and i can understand people that have been smoking much longer than me must battle. Hope you find an aid that helps but again i say do not smoke while using these aids, i just dont see the "aid" working if you continue to smoke. I know champix says you will continue to smoke for like 3 weeks of using it but i think its just a load of rubbish. you either stop or you dont. Its breaking the habits that you need the aid for mostly. remember the cravings mostly go away after around a week or so(sure they pop up every now and then but not as intense as the first 3 days in my experience and my gf's), habits they say takes 21 days to break.
