Nicotine for Smoking Cessation "Yep, you're gonna get a mild case of hiccups during the first 3 days or so, but like the man said below, it's better than cancer. Don't be foolish - smoking isn't good, and these work. After a few weeks, start trading off with cheap mint candies every other turn, then 3 to 1, etc. I started with 8 a day and ended up done with it all at the beginning of week 5! Seriously, you really must want to quit. Get through the first week (that's the rough part), and it's all downhill after that. Do it!"

For Smoking Cessation "I've been a 1 to 2 pack-a-day smoker for over 40 years. I purchased a supply of Equate (Walmart brand) 4 mg nicotine gum and have used it for the last week. I find it lasts longer than a cigarette and usually do not even use the recommended 9 pieces a day. You do need to follow the chewing instructions, which are more like using chewing tobacco than gum. If you chew too fast, you can get the hiccups, but aside from that, it has worked wonders. Of course, you have to 'want' to quit first! Good luck to all, hope it works for you as well as it has for me."
