Advantages: You Live

Disadvantages: Not a Single One

I have been a smoker for 40 or so years managing to get through between 20 and 40 cigarettes a day. Whilst it is perfectly true that smoking has probably done irreparable harm to my health and cost me the price of a house in the country, it is equally true that I have enjoyed every single one and at times wished that I could smoke two at once. (The last statement will mean nothing to a non-smoker)

At Xmas (2000) I had like most of you, the flu like symptoms that the medical profession in their wisdom prefer to call “a virus” in reality it means that they haven’t got a clue but it seems like a good idea if you stop smoking.

I then decided to really go for it and see just how far I could get. Checking out the various aids from “nicorette” I decided to give the inhalator a trial run. For those of you who don’t know what this is, it is a plastic holder not unlike a fat ballpoint pen, containing a capsule of nicotine. It says in the instructions that the capsule is the equal of two cigarettes. The first “puff” on the inhalator, lets you know that they are telling the truth, and it really does give the impression of smoking.

I immediately found out the advantages of smoking this way, for example, how else can I “smoke” on a plane? In the cinema? In a restaurant? No more dirty looks every time I produce a packet of ciggys, just smiles and wishes of good luck. What a refreshing change.

The cost of the nicotine capsules are about £20 for a box of 42, but here is the really good news. They are now available on prescription from your doctor. There has never been a better or cheaper time to stop.

After 6 months, I still use the inhalator, but it is only a prop with no capsule in it. I still find I need “something” at odd times, but truthfully have no craving for a ciggy, and I can see me throwing
it away altogether soon. It may be that some of the other aids such as the patches will be better suited to others.

I have not and will not turn into a rabid anti-smoker, but I do try to give encouragement to those who are thinking about stopping. No-one says that it is easy, but if you give the inhalator a fair trial you will, after only a day or two, realise just what I mean

Good Luck
