Whilst in the Army I served with Yanks a few times, the first time we went into the American PX, its like our NAAFI there was loads of chewing tobacco on sale with names like Indian Chief and stuff. Aged 17, never smoked I decided to try a packet (big western fan) all my mates did too. I managed maybe 20 seconds before I gagged and spat it out. Even the hardened smokers couldn't get through a pack. Smells gorgeous tastes like camel ?

The things you try at 17........

I remember trying those little pillows of chewng tobacco in my teens. I agree bloody awful! :D

I gave up using Champix and it was surprisingly easy

That interests me Chesters, is it really that good? I've tried patches and the gum but neither worked for me.

To get the Champix, you now have to sign up with a pharmacy AND sign an agreement to attend group therapy meetings. G.P's are no longer allowed to prescribe unless you do this. (Impossible atm, now social distancing is in place)

Yes it worked for me and I was so bad I rolled them in my sleep and smoked (and swallowed) them aswell.

You start taking one pill a day about 10/14 days before you want to pack up then on the day you want to stop you chuck your fags and take 2 pills and then 2 a day until the course is up

I had a very stern nurse who did a breath test weekly (looking for carbon monoxide i think ,a sign your smoking) keeping me on my toes but it was fairly easy you get cravings usually when you used to have an 'achievement'fag but it only lasts a few seconds.

It was remarkable the head bailiff even smoked in my front room and it didnt effect me ,i didnt even grab the dog ends !

Remarkably easy and this is a guy who woke up naked across the road looking for dog ends in his car to roll in his sleep!

Prescription only and you will have to plead with the doc to get them ,just say you have tried everything but it didnt work but you still want to give up.

Zyban doesnt work for me but champix certainly did ,now i have piled on weight (give up young when your in your late 50's its hard to burn it off!) I will probably die of a heart attack not smoking related cancer your going to die of something lol

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle
