Smoking Cessation
"Smoked for 30 years; nothing worked. Hypnotherapy, counselling, support groups, nicotine patches: nowt. My daughter worked for Astra-Zeneca, the company who make it; told me she&#039;d heard good things. My GP said okay, it&#039;s the last-chance saloon, if I don&#039;t quit after a single 2-week prescription it&#039;s my funeral. As it were.
Started the tablets as prescribed a few days before quitting; used nicotine gum the last day or so; stopped completely. 
And just didn&#039;t want to smoke. Yes, the cravings were there, and persisted for 4 days, but I said to myself well, they&#039;re no worse than a dose of flu, and I can hack that, so I put up with it.
Been off now for 16 years, never wanted one since. The odd thing is I still dream I&#039;m smoking, now and again..."
