does stop smoking pill work?

Answer 1

All such items are meant as an aid to stop smoking. They won't work on their own. Basically you've got to want to stop. I gave up smoking cigarettes on 14th February 1977. Up until then I smoked between 10 and 15 a day but realised it was getting towards 20. One day I sat there in a pub with a pint and a cigarette in my hand. I looked at the cigarette, realised what an awful smell it was giving me and the cost and damage to my health and ground it out into an ashtray. I reached in my pocket for my cigarette packet and crushed it before depositing it in the ashtray too. I've never smoked one since. I decided that I would choose not to smoke, not give up, and that the choice was mine alone not King Nicotine's. Each time I felt like a smoke I 'chose' not to have one. After a few days I didn't feel like one. I had no 'withdrawal symptoms' but started feeling much better straight away. My senses of taste and smell returned big time, I hadn't even realised that they had been affected. I was better off financially and I started to realise just how obnoxious a habit I had kicked. I now detest smoking but leave the choice to each person whether they indulge or not. Just as a matter of interest I attended a Health Centre in Manchester some time before I stopped smoking where they had an anti-smoking day. Bear in mind this was over 30 years ago when the harmful effects of smoking were not fully appreciated. When I got there they made me feel welcome by asking if I wanted a drink and something to eat. I thanked them and agreed. They brought me a glass pint pot full of dirty black tar and an ashtray full of used cigarette ends. "There you are." Said the girl, "Your drink and snack." "what;'s this?" I asked, disgusted at the foul things offered to me. "Well," She replied, "You breathe all that in. Why not eat and drink it too?" I must admit that it did deter me a little but didn't stop me. My 'choice;' did that a few months later. Best wishes if you want to stop. Don't make the mistake of substitutuing smoking by eating more. It's an old fallacy that not smoking makes you fat, there are plenty of thin non-smokers but eating more to hide the craving will give you more weight. Try an apple or piece of raw carrot if you feel peckish.

Which one? Yes all of them have shown to help. I recently tried Chantix but couldn't get over the way it affected my sleep.
