I am hoping this time the smoking laws will be in pubs by the time i 'go it alone' with no patch. I have tried patches, lozenge's (Yeuk) chewing gum (Not too good) and the inhalator (I thought was a good idea for my pub time - turned out it wasnt) 1st time i gave up was for about 6 months 2nd time was 19 months This time I'm NOT going back to it! My stop smoking consultant told me last week that he doesn't recommend the inhalator as it is not quitting the hand to mouth habit AND the getting a 'Hit' of nicotine as you inhale through it, one puff on one of those is almost as strong as 10 puffs on a normal cigarette! So it is a 'hit' I have not done a group session, i prefer the one to one, but you really have to want to do it, and to stop people smoking in your house has helped me BIG TIME already this time, i was always lenient before, my other half is now cutting down as he has to smoke in the garden.... Its a massive help to me though.
