reasontosigh Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 When was the last time you saw your doctor? There's all kinds of things that have come out recently to help people quit, but quite a few of them require a prescription. Link to post Share on other sites

reasontosigh Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Possibly. Or he could recommend an over the counter product. What the doc needs to take into account are your age, smoking history, medical history, and the like. You will need a physical at any rate, regardless of what is actually prescribed or recommended. Even the over the counter stuff says to check with a doctor first. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites

SpEiZ Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Patches may work, but it's not a good way to stop smoking. You should try this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140277633/qid=1082834235/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_11_1/202-9719252-5747833 It helped me and many others. Good Luck!

booyou Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 i have been on the patch for six months... it should only take 12 weeks. i love the patch when i am at work and not in the environment in which i am the weakest: the barstool. my problem is that i have done nothing to remove myself from the surroundings where i am most likely to smoke. therefore, the patch ends up in the ashtray by the end of the night and i end up a happy camper for the rest of the night until i feel guilty in the morning for being so indulgent. bottom line: patch is great so long as you keep yourself away from those situations where you will be tempted or have easy access to a smoke. plus- no doctor needed. target has a two week supply for $32 or so- at that price it is cheaper than a carton of newports. good luck - d.
