Question
I just got hired on with a company,got assigned a trainer for the 8 week period.The recruiter knew I`m a smoker,and said he would find a trainer that smokes,he ended up getting a non-smoker,said he thought I said it didn`t matter.I don`t want to wait any longer,guess I`ll try toughing it out for the 8 weeks.I know I`m going to be nervous doing something new anyway,and going to be miserable.Anyone know if the patch or nicotine gum is effective in reduceing craveings?
Answer
Not sure which is the best but the gum taste like crap And the patch is very expensive. Why not ask them to get you a different trainer. Or just hold off until you get to a stop and smoke
Answer
Many have succeeded in quitting using only the gum. Same for the patch. Many are finding help from Zyban (Wellbutrin). Everyone's habit is different, the amount they smoke varies, why they smoke differs, so on and so forth.
You have to find what is best for you.
I have tried the patch and found that it greatly curbed my desire. You may want to try that snd if the desire is overwhelming a puff or two at a stop should get you past it. That is NOT recommeneded, but it will certainly decrease the amount you smoke.
