Advantages: your life will be lengthened!!

Disadvantages: stick to skin!

I have smoked on and off for more years than I care to admit to myself!!, from as little as two a day to as much as (cringe, oh god that many?) ahem 30!!

As per usual, I told myself I could give up if I wanted to, as my smoking had always been sporadic. Sometimes I could have gone for months without one, but always returned to the dreaded weed.

However,I was smug in the knowledge that I was far superior to other smokers, in that I was going to give up, (just in my own time!).

My mum who has been a heavy smoker for the last 30 odd years, decided she was going to give up!! HAHAHAHAa, now if anyone of knew my mum you would know that without an hourly/half hourly intake of pure tar and nicotine, she resembles something near the devil incarnate,.....only worse.

So of she trotted to Boots to get a supply of Nicotine patches, as we all went on the opposite direction to the army surplus store for our helmets, so as to avoid the "cold turkey" she was about to endure.

The patches are sold in varying strengths depending on how much you smoke, and you are not allowed to have them the same day you have had a ciggy. They are sold in packs of a weeks supply, and the intention is that you drop the strength of the patch monthly.

So the next morning she awoke and placed her patch on ...and we waited........and we waited........and.....nothing!! She was not the monster we had expected but rather a pleasant natured person!

WE were stunned!! we didn't think she'd hold out for more than a day but she did, after a week she no longer felt even the need for the patch and has remained smoke free for 13 weeks.

So I decided to give them a go too! Sure enough, I too am now chimney free!!

I would definatly reccomend that you try these if you're trying to give up. If they worked for my mum, trust me they can work for anyone!
However be careful, stick the patch somewhere like your hip
/bum, and not your arm, as it made our skin very sore.

UPDATE

But whatever method of giving up smoking you try, you will never acheive it unless you have one thing.... WILLPOWER, and if at first you don't succeed, don't blame the tools, it was probably because you werent deterined enough. Yes you guessed it, mum is back on the fags! and worse than ever. AHH well, it was nice while it lasted! ;-)
