NICORETTE WORKS! :D Day 2, 3rd peice of gum, no more headaches or cravings!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[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.

[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]

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
