Nicorette Gum is worse then cigarettes - GoFuckYourself.com

TampaToker · 06-18-2007, 08:47 PM

I been cig free for the last few days and i was about at my peek. I bought that Nicorette Gum and tried it and it taste like someone dumped a ashtray in my mouth. I can actually taste the nicotine more with the gum then i can with the cigs.

What did you ex smokers use to quit or was it cold turkey?

Oh I thought you were going to present some stats that suggest that the gum was worse to your health than cigs.

I used nicorette for 2 months when I quit. I loved it, as bad as that sounds.

It's been going on 6 years, but if I think about it enough I can jones for a piece of it pretty bad.

I went to Matrix Laser Centers in San Diego and after one session it did what no other product was able to do. It stopped me smoking 40 a day for the last 20 years.
I tried that gum shit, the patch , the 12 step program and a whole load more this laser treatment took away my cravings completly. Its been 9 months since the treatment and the smell of smoke just makes me feel sick.

And just because its a laser dont worry there is no pain at all. It does make you feel very relaxed. I feel asleep for 20 minutes in the clinic.

My Father's diagnosis of terminal lung cancer made it rather easy to quit.

I got addicted to the gum! The pepermint flavor with the sweet chicklet hard type shell coating.

It's almost better than cigs!

laser?? Please explain. Is this like EMDR at all?

bobby666 · 06-18-2007, 10:28 PM

cold turkey....mow for 4 months already

shahab6 · 06-18-2007, 10:59 PM

that's not true, its the smoke that's bad for u, not the nicotine.

BAKO · 06-18-2007, 11:20 PM

I threw up when i tried that shit

S P A N N O W · 06-18-2007, 11:35 PM

Patches were a good start but I couldn't do it now without the gum. If the 4mg gum is making you sick try stepping down to the 2mg stuff. I'm going on 5 months now and counting!

*I used to smoke a pack and a half a day*

Its like acupuncture only no needles and way, way more effective, takes about an hour and the Dr was very nice and calming she new her stuff and answered all my questions and doubts. I would recommend this to anyone who really wants to quit. Seems its been around in Europe for 30 years or more with no side effects whatsoever.

They use it in Canada to help people kick drugs and alcohol, maybe that will be coming to the USA soon ?

True that! It taste like used cigarette filter!!!

i'd rather die in cancer than chew that shit

Dwreck · 06-19-2007, 10:24 AM

Cold turkey hrmmmm I cant make it past the first three days. My will power is weak when it comes to cigs.

Farang · 06-19-2007, 10:59 AM

I quit cold turkey

cool1 · 06-19-2007, 11:19 AM

tried it all, nothing would help me beat the craving.
after being told I had COPD, I decided to slow down untill I stop
I am now down to 6 cigs a day from 25 cigs a day , so far so good.

D · 06-19-2007, 11:45 AM

I quit for a pre-planned 6 month trial run, and used Nicorette a few times, as I was a bartender at the time, and didn't want to bite anyone's head off. I don't remember it being all that bad. You're not supposed to really chew the stuff, you realize... but keep it 'pouched' in your gum-line like tobacco - giving it like one chew every 5-10 mins or so.

I then quit about a year later for real... did it right - set a date, let everyone know I was quitting (for support), etc... used the patch program to the letter.

The patch made it easier, but the 2 days after I stepped off the last of the patch was probably as bad as my entire first week going cold turkey (with 2-3 sticks of Nicorette) all crammed into those 2 days... but, by that point I wasn't desiring another cig, necessarily - but rather, another patch.

I broke out in a slight body rash (rarer side effect of using trans-dermal medication - especially for addictive substances)... but I haven't smoked a cig in 7 years now... so I'll call it a win.

Still wasn't the gum or the patch that did it for me. No force in the world will kick nicotine for you - you gotta do it yourself.

TG Rebecca · 06-19-2007, 01:51 PM

ugh, i used to smoke like two packs a day for about four or five years. i eventually just quit cold turkey somehow. i had tried several times prior to that only to fail and be miserable about it, though. i guess i just had to be 100% ready.
