Tips to Quit Smoking

Research what is available, how it works, the cost/s involved, how long it can be used and is it workable in your lifestyle.

Some products can cause side effects that may affect your day to day functioning.
You may feel tired and need more rest.
You may feel more energized.

Tips to quit smoking are included in or on most product packaging and many have 800 phone numbers you may call for assistance.

Your personality comes into play also.
A laid back person may not like the extra energy the nicotine patches may create.
An energetic person may not appreciate the calm generated by certain prescription stop smoking products.
A person that has a hard time sleeping through the night may be more affected by the nicotine patches. Enhanced dreaming has been reported by many.
The nicotine gum may not fit in with someone who has extensive dental work.
The nicotine gum and lozenges may not work well for someone who has to speak often, such as a teacher or a phone operator.

One scenario that may come up is being unable to chew the nicotine gum or use another oral nicotine product due to dental work.

On a personal note, I had to have a bad tooth removed while I was using the nicotine gum and was unable to chew for a couple of days so I used a nicotine patch as a replacement. It was not my replacement of choice but it worked well enough that I was able to continue my new life as a
nonsmoker. After a couple of days I was able to resume using the nicotine gum.
