    Nicotinell Patches

    Hi, has anyone used these & kicked the nasty habit....
    and how did you feel.
    On my 1st patch today, not feeling like climbing the walls yet

    But i feel a bit hyper, when i think i want a smoke, i rub the patch LOL
    then i feel yukky when i think of ciggys.
    All in the mind i know.
    Begining to wonder if i have choose the wrong day to have done it...

    Look on the bright side, you should live longer , which means you'll be able to drive your car for longer!
    Simple really.
    Or maybe you want to die young stay pretty?
    Good luck with kicking the habit.

      They worked for me but as usual you have to be fully commited or there's no point.. their (cigs) hold on you is just too great...! Saying that, i did my back in after 7 months and couldnt go to the gym or run or play golf and because i was bored... started smoking again . However, i'm going for round two shortly and will def use them again.
      Good luck .

        I just went cold turkey.

        Has taken a few attempts but I've not had a tab now since June last year. I'd been on 20 a day, smoked for about 14 years.

              Nicotine is a neuro transmitter, we use it to think and feel, it passes messages and thoughts around.. When you smoke you add extra nicotine which temporarily turbocharges your thinking system Thing is your body is always trying to find a balance so it stops making its own nicotine and uses the stuff you're putting in from the fags, thats why its so hard to stop, you can't function properly without it..
              Cold turkey is best, its all over in about 72hrs, then you just have to not start again I was on at least 40 a day and havent had one for nearly 5 years (I can hardly believe it as I type it )

              Patches just put off the time when you get off the nicotine properly, better for you than smoking it though.. Its different for different people, patches didn't work for me as I didn't like the continuous nicotine going in, I found it made me twitchy or hyper too. They work for some , gum works for others, I know a couple of people who quit using the gum and ended up on that for 5 yrs or so, its just as difficult giving up the gum.

              After about 72hrs without external nicotine your body starts making its own again and you start to feel normal again

                I wish normal would hurry up.
                I have so much energy atm, and its driving me insane, as nothing to burn it up

                I will beat the habit, alktoh viodka is costing more than regalk kings atm LOL...

                I would go for a walk, but its dark..... its just so frustrating.

                Some people have said to me "pack in, just eat a carrot when you want a tab"


                i wish it was that easy.


                i KNOW ITS A DISGUSTING HABIT

                              Same here: cold turkey.

                              Stopped about 16 months ago after about 10 years of smoking - most of that on about 15 to 20 roll-ups a day. Feel a lot better for it, and can taste food again. Was grumpier than normal for about four days then it got better.

                              Good luck on quitting.

                              Ck.
