What works best: Nicoderm, Nicorette, Nicotral....?

Question

My husband wants to quit dipping but has been getting so frustrated at work and keeps loosing his temper so he keeps going back to it. He finally agreed he is addicted to the nicotine - before he said he did it out of habit; he wasn't addicted - and is willing to try something. There is patches, gum, loszenges, inhalers....What works best?

I wish cold turkey would work for him but he can't seem to stick with it.

Answer 1

My hubby just quit chewing also and he used Nicoderm Patches he is doing really good and hasn't been too irritable a little but not bad♥

Answer 2

It depends on the person. I am currently using the patch after trying the gum. I was a smoker. Honestly, I'm not having much luck with either. I've read that the most successful way to quit any kind of nicotine addiction is cold turkey. 3 to 4 days of hell and then it's over. Even the American Lung Association recommends cold turkey.

Answer 3

I used to smoke a pack of Black N Mild cigars every day, and what helped me the most was Nicorette Gum. It really helps curve the cravings. It took me half of the time that was recommended to quit using the gum. I know this stuff works, so good luck to you!

Answer 4

All those things have one great down fall they all have nicotine in them. It's very hard to kick the habit when your still giving your body the drug it craves. I have heard great things about the book "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr. You can find it here;
