What name would you give to the little monster in these commercials?

[limesogood]

Unfortunately, what most of you don't understand is that smokers will ALWAYS be smokers. We have physically changed the wiring in our heads. Smokers are pretty much just like alcoholics. Each and every day is a struggle. NRTs are meant to help you WEAN yourself off of YOUR HABITS.

Once you can wean yourself from the habit of lighting one up, then you can work on the physical withdrawal symptoms. NRTs are simply to make that initial breaking of the habit easier (on you and those around you).

[hawksley1001]

Ever heard of harm reduction? It's the concept that if one cannot stop with the habit, less harmful methods are dispensed. You can chew nicorrette forever and you won't get cancer, unlike smoking or chewing tobacco. NRT may not be the best quit tool for everyone, but its a hell of a lot better for you than cigs.

[karrieannbean]

Camel realizes that people are down on cigs, but they want to keep people addicted so they are looking for a new delivery system for their drug. strips & mints are far less scary than needles.

I like how you have bought into the NRT's propaganda, hook, line and sinker. tobacco Co's. denied any link to smoking & cancer forever. do you think NRT Co's. would be any different? if you want to agrue with me when i say the only safe nicotine is NO nicotine, fine. oh, i don't drink coffee

[hawksley1001]

Yes in my country Nicorrette is a pharmaceutical - meaning it falls under the same safety standards as aspirin. Even if its not a pharmaceutical in your country it falls under food. Anyway harm reduction products are for the already addicted - the ones we cannot save. It does not supercede primary prevention.

[karrieannbean]

oh i agree. once a smoker, always a smoker. i have quit before several times and have made the mistake of thinking i could have 'just one'. so foolish!

but the way to stop, is to stop. no NRT's. just stop. take the pain. we deserve it for ever being stupid enough to start. other people have quit cold turkey and lived to tell. quite honestly it is the only real way to quit that actually works. look up info on the NRT companies working hand in hand with the tobacco companies. fact...

[karrieannbean]

another way to push the poison known as nicotine. JUST STOP! yes you are probably in for about 3 days of hell as the nicotine level in your body drops. the addiction will make it tough, but after those 3 days the nicotine is out of your system & the cravings are not as strong. dont buy into another nicotine dispensing device. i think they should offer it in a syringe. you can sit at your desk, tie your arm off & shoot up. no offending smoke to bother anyone & junkie still gets his fix.

[hawksley1001]

At least it's safe unlike tobacco products. By safe I mean SIGNIFICANTLY safer than tobacco. I'm a nurse and marketting nicotine as a syringe is the worst idea ever - MRSA HIV HBC its just a bad idea. Do you drink coffee? It's an alkaloid - maybe we should give it in syringe form too.

[karrieannbean]

nurse ratched, like i seriously think they should market nicotine in a syringe.  hello, sarcasm. it was the IDEA. the fact that NICOTINE is an addictive drug, like heroin, no matter what form it comes in. Camel is now making nicotine that comes in breath mint and breath strip form. Hey kids, it's for you! and nurse ratched says it is significantly safer for you so buy 'em up!

[hawksley1001]

What differentiates Camel stips and mints from Nicorrette is the idea or "intent" behind the product. Nicorrette is made and marketted by the pharmaceutical industry to capitalize on the move to end smoking. Camel mints are sold to keep an addictive business in business. I think I know more than you i'm a nurse...you? Have you ever even been exposed to nicotine?

[karrieannbean]

so it is all in the marketing then..? lol the fact is NONE of the products that want to keep you addicted or claim to want to help you break your addiction want to lose you as a customer. if you quit using nicotine in whatever form or you stop taking phamacutical drugs that are changing the chemistry of you body, those companies lose. open your mind just a tiny bit and see the reality that is there. those companies are not about freeing anyone from addiction but rather cashing in on another

[karrieannbean]

hawksley, are you saying that because something is a pharmaceutical it is safe? that it has no dangerous side effects? being a nurse you should know that aspirin can be a dangerous and deadly drug. you asked above, if i had any experience with nicotine. indeed i do. i am an addict. i have kicked my habit. this go around i have 6 months under my belt. how did i do it? cold turkey and the help of a website called whyquit. they don't sell a darn thing but advocate cold turkey.

[hawksley1001]

Of course ASA has adversa affects, like all drugs. However those drugs if used properly assist one in improving their quality of life and lifespan. ASA has saved thousands from heart attacks. The benefits outweigh the risks, just like in nicotine gum. Good for you for quitting cold turkey. I quit completely (chewing tobacco) with NRT. It was for me because i'm educated enough to know how to use it properly.

[karrieannbean]

i have smoked on & off for 25 years. i know very well the addictive power of smoking. read up on people who are now addicted to the NRT they use. it really comes down to being able to take the pain and agony that quitting brings. it comes down to what are you made of. who really is in control here? this cig or me? i really don't think i would have been better off switching to camel breathstrips or nicorette gum or kodiak chewing tobacco. but whatever. i am free and it was free.

[hawksley1001]

Fine lets entertain your theory that the company producing NRT is trying to addict customers... It's still far safer than tobacco products. And at this time we have no evidence to suggest nicotine alkaloid causes cancer. Either way I want you to read the harm reduction theory. NRT may not have been for you - it was cold turkey for you. But NRT has countless advantages. Psych patients on secure wards are given NRT so they do not become violent in nicotine withdrawel.

[sxmadrid]

wot cunt is putting adverts on youtube

[odakueffect]

Nicotine gets out of system within few days. Withdrawals are psychological and can last for months even years. Nicotine replacement won't help with that.

[missjindependent]

Really? pls don't say that cuz ur making me lose hope.

[AAAAAAAAAA42]

What retard came up with the name?

[princessgirl2007]

that is a lie! those gums taste like crap in 5 minutes! and u have to chew it for 30, and they DO NOT work! i have one in my mouth now and its gross and i still wanna light up!

[Sotigris]

for me they seem to work but i prefer lozenges

[tun875]

Do they have nic. lozenges? Are they expensive? The nicorette gum is more addictive than cigarettes and chew. I had to smoke to get off the gum which I bought to get off the chew and then had to chew again to get off the smokes at which time I bought some more gum.

[tun875]

Be carefull. I became addicted to the gum and spent a lot of money. It seems to load your body with large amounts of nicotine that is harder than heck to overcome. I would get real cranky without it.

[Strider1414]

Elle oh Elle

[hello222777]

Anyone know where to find the other commercial with this monster guy in it?

[Faunatik]

There's one in French in the list, but I can't find the one with the girl in red turning into that creature. If anyone finds it, please tell me!

[lenamir]

Love this little guy!

[Faunatik]

Me too! He's so cool!

[elitadream]

... But he's such an ugly guy!

[Faunatik]

That's why he's cool! Ugly but how funny!
