I stopped cigarettes two days ago but have unusual cravings,not like other times I stopped…
Bought nicorette chewing gums,and they help a little …
I don’t like substitues to nicotine,so my question is have someone made sucessful transition with gums…
Gum solves the smoking problem but the hand to mouth habit is part of the addiction. I’ve used ice water before to replace it.
I quit in 2018. From a pack of Marlboro Gold a day. The first few months I chewed nicotine gum from nicorette. It helped to make the transition!
Thanks a lot @TheFountainPen …
I never expirienced so much mental problems before,but my plan stays…
Thanks @Mars ,hope I endure…
The beginning is difficult but it gets better. The boyfriend of my mom is a smoker and it does me nothing seeing him smoke.
I’m over it. But it took a couple of years. So be patient.
Thanks a lot friend …
I’m currently using the nicotine gum…but I use a LOT! I gave up cigarettes about 11 months ago and the last time I vaped was December 14. I used the patch + the gum initially but just use the gum now. I chew at least 10 pieces a day and it’s expensive but my breathing has been better and I have more endurance to exercise…
i went from cigarettes to nicotine pouches (which is like snus but with just powdered nicotine instead of tobacco) and i like it way better than cigarettes. it wont help me quit tho. just as addicted as ever. but im not trying to quit. at least im not smoking tho. and its cheaper.
Thanks @anon57786250 , @WhiteRaven @irrelevant ,things you wrote bring me ease that I will endure,with gums…
I’m currently in not very good mood,I’m more sleepy than usual,but I used to quit before …
if u wanna completely quit i found the easiest way for me was nicotine patches. i would get the highest dose one and i wore it until the cravings compltely stopped. i didnt follow the directions to wear it for only 2 weeks then go down on the dose. i wore it til i never thought of cigarettes any more. maybe a month or 2. then i went to the next lower dose and i did the same thing. then i went to the lowest dose and did the same thing. then i stopped. it was the only way i managed to quit and stay off for a pretty long time.
Yes,I tryed patches before and it worked…
But now I’m on Clozapine so I don’t know how iit would interact with levels of Clozapine ,as it’s known nicotine lowers level of Clozapine in plasma
it shouldnt lower it any more than cigarettes. and it would be a slow reduction in nicotine so the levels wont go up too much from what they are now.
In a week I would have money,I know I felt free on patches…
I stopped and begin 10 times…
Thanks @irrelevant …
My pdoc prescribed it so I don’t pay anything. Might be worth looking into.
I learned to love the nic gum. Its nice not reeking like crap from cigarettes. And you can pop a gum almost anywhere or whenever. The continued craving for the ciggies even when using nic gum is all in your head. Because the nicotine withdrawal is taken care of. Maybe take deep breaths into your lungs through your mouth sonetimes like you would if it was smoke. That helps me.
What dosage of nocotine are you chewing? Becausr the 2mg might not be enough if you suddenly stopped smoking. Try the 4mg instead, if you havent already.
Good luck! 
@TheFountainPen ,there is one thing I can’t understand …
The day 8,and I have more cravings…
Only want to smoke,and using more gums,and two days ago I only taken 3 a day…
It comes and goes in waves.
I’ve thought about cigarettes and even dreamt of them years later.
You just have to control the impulses.
That’s important in life if you want a good one.
Thanks,I’m trying hard to…
