I quit using the nicorrette gum, 4mg, it was time for me but went from almost 3 packs a day to zero overnight, what a relief, 6 years now and I'm still on the wagon. Chose the gum over the patch cause the gum gives you a blast of nic just like smoking and I thought a constant low level was not going to work for me. I talked to different people about the drugs, they are called by diff names in Canada, and didn't like the side effect thing. I still chew the gum every once in a while. Bummer is that the gum made in the states tastes bad, it all tastes bad , have bought this in several diff countries and the Canadian version is the best. Got a friend to quit, he just stopped, but I told him the same thing I will tell you, "if I can do it, anybody can". Read or heard that nic is only in your system for 72 hours, after that it is all in your mind, used to tell myself all the time "who's in charge here, me or Export A" (strongest Canadian smokes). Go for it, however you do it, smoking has to be about the dumbest thing a guy can do but quitting is the smartest, God hates a quitter but he looks the other way when it comes to drugs, booze and cigs, good luck and don't get discouraged if you start up again, just quit again, I'm an accomplished quitter, took me 12-14 tries over 15 years, once for 4 years before I made it stick.
