Success Stories
"I finally decided to quit at 32 with the help of Nicorette Gum. At first, I actually counted out pieces of gum and looked forward to chewing them in place of smoking cigarettes. It was tempting to cheat sometimes, but I never slipped. After I quit, my sense of smell increased right away. Also, my morning cough was mostly gone in a week. I knew I was in bad shape, but I had no idea how limited my lung capacity had become until I stopped smoking. That's why I decided to jog a bit. I really enjoyed it, and now I run 5K and 10K races. What a difference a few months can make. I haven't smoked since my quit date. Now I hope to run a marathon in the future."
"I smoked upwards to three packs a day, and spent a lot of time just working to be able to afford them. I really knew I had to quit for my kids, and health reason. But I was afraid to lose something that had always been there for me. But, I decided it was time when my children approached me concerning my habit. They wanted me to quit because they wanted to spend more time with me. I managed to find new ways to deal with stress and hobbies. Tapering down was a challenge, but I decided it would be best to do that before I quit with the patch. Now, I have been 26 months smoke-free, and love it. My kids are happier then ever, and are so proud of me."
