hi lads some of you may have read the demon cigarettes thread,ive got a tough month work wise(im self employed and 1 month in july is worth 3 normal months)so i decided to help myself out by getting the lowest dose nicorette patches 5mg.started them on friday,bosh had to goto see the quack this morning,face and lips completely puffed up,palpitations(my blood pressure is through the bleedin roof,terrible sweating,and my joints feel knackererd,it turns out that i am one in 13000 who gets this reaction,the doc has also barred me from using gum,it turns out i am allergic to nicotine:mad::mad:i knew that already or i would still be smoking:(the patches are incredibley safe and are a really good way to kick the habit)im just one of the unlucky buggers.anybody got any advice(chinese herbal,accupuncture)i know will power is an incredible tool,but it can be a bugger when your under the cosh work wise:yltype:
 
chris take it out on your sous chef,smoke a carrot,put a punch bag in the garage,better still go fishing,come on Chris it was a little white stick with poison in it,you can do it,just look at Gordon Ramsay you never see him loosing his head mate
 
hi mate you could always try herbal cigarettes:confused::confused:
iknow it sounds like your defeating the object but they have no nicotine in them at all:) dont smell very nice but mite wein you off!
the other option is those electronic cigarettes you can get online!
me boss has been on them for about 2 month and he raves about them:D
all they do is produce vapour so your not actually inhailing anything but you are if you get wot i mean!!:D:D
hope this helps!!
 
I bought a pipe. never stuck owt in it or lit it, but wave it about like a pompous arse, wander around with it clenched between teeth...

3 and half months fag free. no patches no nowt - just nicotine cold turkey, then a couple of months in bought a pipe for a laugh - couple of quid off ebay

have just bought 2 more. a corncob and a churchwarden!

:D:D:D you sound like a latter day harold wilson much gravitas and respect:D,i bet the postage on e bay was a bit steep though for the church warden or was he collect only:o does being a super moderator give you a special power;)or does it entitle you to your own costume to sort out disputes:D
 
Keep going mate. I'm off the patches now but still puffing away on my inhalator thingy so that might be worth a go. Failing that what about getting hypnotised? I've spoke to quite a few people recently who gave up that way. I also know a girl who is using that to lose weight too and she has lost 4 stone. Mind that only took her down to 23 stone but every little helps:)
Good luck
