I use the Njoy from the pilot you still get the nicotine. I took my physical last year and they said everything was that of a non smoker. And curse me out about quitting all you want this is better then the 2 cartons a week i did for over 35 years
-
I tried those blucigs things. They worked for about a month and then both atomizers stopped working. 20bucks a piece for em. Yeah, screw that lol

I don't know about yours??? Mine has a Guarantee on it. You could contact the maker and get a replacement.

Well I tried to quit for a few years. That was the problem i "tried". That don't work. I finally made up my mind about 6 months ago and did it. It was destroying my health and i felt terrible all the time. I feel so much better now. Cold turkey is the only way to do it with a made up mind. Good luck to you, if I can do it after 17 years you can do it too.wulfsbergvw and rich_t Thank this.

So...How many packs of cigarettes did you smoke a month at $4.00 or $5.00 a pack?
I'll bet it added up to a lot more than you paid for the blucigs... -
I did the chantix deal, it was a piece of cake with those. Your not suppose to drive while taking it, so take 3 weeks off and enjoy

I did chantix after an open heart surgery stayed quit for 5 months.
started back blamed it on Chicago and one hell of a blizzard.
I quit again when I had lower back fusion (my 4th back surgery) I quit cold turkey and just started back few weeks ago.
I din't realize how good I felt till I started back! I am not even back in the truck yet still at home and already wished my dumb ### would have stayed quit.
1 wrong decision can throw away 6 months of non-smokingNative Dancer Thanks this. -
Cigarettes in NY are $9-10 a pack!!
I quit twice-first time for 6 months and then started to bum them --back when you could still smoke in public. Then 6 years ago I quit for good the day after my Dad had triple bypass surgery and I was having chest pain. Was a no brainer for me that day and have not looked back!! I did and do take Zyban (generic Wellbutrin) which can be used to quit. It worked for awhile the first time but I was not really ready. The second time I was. When I quit I was smoking 1 1/2 PPD and had been smoking 25 years. ( I started way too young too!!) -
Chantix helped me quit. I was tobacco free for 11 months with no urge to smoke.
My mistake was having a celibration smoke with my son-in-law the day my grand daugher was born.
I will soon be using Chatix to help me quit again.
