good luck linoman my dad quit, he used a popeye pipe found in the old popeye sherbert to kick the habit - i dont think they make the sherbert anymore so theres no hope for me.

I did not say smoking is better than the gum did i?

I said both are bad, obviously the gum is better but he should get off it ASAP. Go read the side effects before commenting any further i suggest.

Ha ha, Dude, I did. I even posted them. And I think you'll find they are probably the same as smoking!

I found i struggled to breath when i was on them, it also made my throat far worse than smoking.

I do not even think smoking has that many side effects. It got me off the cigi's though for a week. Granted sore throat and breathing problem but got me out of the habit a bit . I smoked for many years and did not experience problems breathing and a very sore throat. Nor did i have the worst gas of my life, the smell OMG hectic.

Not that anyone cares, currently going through depression and anger this evening. Not to mention feelings of aloneness

Try the e-cig Lino. Alot easier and better on the heart (no sudden withdrawal shock) and brain (less withdrawal symptoms). You also stop wheezing and coughing within days and can reduce the nicotine dose to zero over time while still "vaping" on the device (toxin free as all of the life threatening toxins are in the tobacco you smoke not the nicotine - that is just the addiction).

Worked for me, over 30 ciggies a day, and now since 1 Dec09, not even a craving, no moods, nothing. Not even the munchies...

Not the ultimate goal yet (no nicotine)but 100 times better than smoking. The doctors in my area are actually prescribing these devices as they have a 70% success rate. Trust me, I was a hard case.

Log onto vaping101.co.za. Mike will help you out in no time.

Dude this last for about week at worse so just tough it out man.

Try keep busy and eat. Don't go stuffing your face with shyte but make sure your tummy is full

 

[Lino]

Thanks for all the advice everyone, I would try e-cig but I am not able to afford it.

I know all about the eating, from tomorrow I will eat decent food and not shyte, today after work I had 6 pieces KFC with 2 small chips.

It costs more than smoking anyways. I feel like a Junkie with all my gear and half empty nicotine bottles littered all over the house. Cheapest solution? Keep on cold turkey or if you just cannot (and I understand why some people cannot, then next cheapest option is Taxi snuff at R3.50 a tub, but since that's like shoving about 10 cups of used expresso grounds up your nose, I'd spring an extra R3.00 for Magnet menthol snuff. Now that is dynamite. It'll blow your sinus clear and give you a quick nic fix you won't even crave cigs.
Any supermarket has these under the counter. Beats the gum anyday.

Hang in there Lino, just keep thinking about all the benefits and not succumbing to stupid pack of cancer-inducing junk. Why would you pay someone to stuff up your health like that?

Dunno we seem to pay take aways plenty for toxin ridden food, why would people eat red meat knowing it causes heart disease?

Why do we pay to drink alcohol that damages our systems?

Why indeed, but we're encouraging a struggling pal here, not trying to make it worse.

You're replacing one addiction with another!
