Congratulations on making it to 12 years, I hope you manage to kick the smokes as well.

ANSWER: Zyban plus Patches.

In the surveys 30% of people using this combination still weren't smoking after 2 years.

I did it and stopped 3 years ago.

My brother in law stopped 2 years ago

My father in law stopped 1 year ago.

Both of them were very heavy 2-3 pack a day smokers. They were convinced I was talking rubbish but after many months and months of telling them about it I got them to try. And now they really thank me because it's actually so easy giving up this way that you actually forget to smoke!

Zyban is actually an antidepressant with two effects:

1) It stimulates the dopamine receptors in the brain so you feel more content. You'll find you eat less as well as smoke less and I even found I drank less as I was generally quite contented...

2) It has the strange effect of making cigarettes taste quite stale and foul after about 5-7 days.

The doctor will tell you to keep smoking while on Zyban for the first two weeks.

When you smoke while on Zyban you don't get the nicotine buzz at all strongly and put the cigarette out early because it's not satisfying and tastes quite nasty.

Well, I only made one week because after that I kept forgetting to light up and only realised some hours later that I had forgotten. I'd get a quick craving to smoke, think about it and then forget it and go another few hours.

However, when I started the patches as well, I would forget to smoke all day because I'd get no cravings at all.

My two-pennorth!

I tried the zyban when I tried to quit the last time, it seems I'm one of the small number of people that it doesn't affect.

Plus when I fly I wear a patch, chew nicotine gum and have a nicotine inhaler. Even if it's only a 2 hour jump to Spain.

Also tried acupuncture, not painful, more uncomfortable.

I'm thinking of going to see a hypnotist, it's the only thing I've not tried...

Bite me yellow-teeth.

Is it more addictive for Trev than for the thousands and thousands (millions...) of others who have quit?

All Im saying is, if you want to quit, than quit. If you dont, than dont...

No, it's not more addictive, I have no will power.

Now please fuck off.

I can't do snuff

I've had my face rebuilt on one side and have no "proper" sinus on either because of it , if I blow my nose wrong it could end up behind my eye socket. The plus side is I've got $$$ of titanium in my face. The wife is going to scrap me before I get burried
