Quitting is Contagious

[VA $l!m]

yeah, the patch and the gum i

The only thing that worked for me is the nicotine lozenges. I like the mini ones. You tuck it in your lip and it just keeps you from kicking the dog, if you know what I mean. Start with having one in your every waking moment then slowly ween yourself off them by waiting until you really need the next one. Usually takes me 2-3 weeks to ween down to no longer needing them... ymmv.

im assuming thats same sorta premise as nicotine gum

The patch and the gum are kind of a pain.  Mini-lozenges are the best option, like PG says. The regular size lozenges are like horse pills so you have to go with the minis. I've been hooked on the minis, but it's better than smoking/chewing.  Def kills any craving though you might eat them like chiclets at first.  Don't get nicorrette brand, get store brand they are way cheaper.  Walmart/Walgreens has them cheapest, Amazon also has a bunch of generics too. You'd probably want to start with 4mg if you are a pack a day but you can switch to 2mg pretty quickly. It's getting off the 2mg that is a struggle for me. Good luck.

right on... thanks for the details.
yeah im more like 3-5 cigs a day max , though i smoke halfs and thirds so i'm "smoking" 10 times a day sometimes.

Worked for me and I'm about to hit 10 years no cigs.

hey slim, my method for a while has been 3mg zyns, which are those tobacco-less nicotine pouches.  no one notices if i have one in, and they take away the cravings pretty quickly.  while i have certainly had some cigs over the last 9 months or so, i generally don't smoke anymore and only want to if i'm in particular situations.

right...that would be one of the few situations, though it sounds like that won't be the case going forward, which is good.

i got all psyched up to start Chantix or w/e the generic is now, and then fucking medicaid decided not to cover it... idiots.
i guess i'm supposed to play their game now and "try" the other cheaper options- patch, etc.

annoyed though.
