Ok today is the day i start stoping smoking. I bought my nictine gum, i thew my cigs, ashtrays and lighters away and am kind of looking forward to being a non smoker. I have to ask though, why the heck didnt the manufacturers of nicotinell gum warn us that they taste absolutely foul?!
I swear it was all i could do not to spit it out then and there! its just disgusting! I know im not the only one to find this out the hard way so i want to know if anyone has any idea of how to get rid of the darned awful taste. Did anyone else have trouble with nausea too? i feel sick to my stomach right now yeuch!
and how do you take your mind off of smoking? even though i forced myself to chew this awful stuff, im already getting messages again from my brain telling me i want a cigarette! argh!
any help is appreciated right now
*goes off to be sick at someone*

It is good that you have taken a decision to quit smoking. Try to control your emotions, and whenever any thought of smoking comes into your mind, try diverting your mind to something else. Chewing gum/nictine gum is good idea and you should have such kind of chewable things with you handy, whenever you feel like smoking. It will take some time for you to control yourself, but if you overcome the initial phase, I think you would be able to control your habit. Best of Luck! and Best wishes!

But you will have to find out some ways to divert your attention, somehow.
Best of Luck!

Well done on trying to quit smoking too. It is really hard to stop and im trying to change my routine a bit so that all the things i did that made me want to light up, i wont do now like im trying to drink juice instead of coffee because coffee makes me want to smoke plus im starting running as well to get fitter so that ill be too tired to smoke.

ewww! is right! Smoking is a Dirty Habit. I've been a non smoker for 74 years on Oct 12/07. I once dated a smoking woman, that is, until she lit up in my car. I turned the car around and took her home and she never caught on to what it was all about. Took me 3 weeks to get the smoke smell out of my car!
I can appreciate the problems you are having and I congratulate you on your intestinal fortitude! I'm sending thoughts of Strength and Love! God Bless!

you don't look like a quitter.
You can't be that good looking and have a cool name like Sephrenia and be a non smoker. Don't be silly it will never work. ;)
