MedHelp Member's Question

Smoking

Tags: smoking, Addiction, wellbutrin, years

My wife is a closet smoker (3-6 cigs/day) but she is also addicted to Nicorette gum which she chews constantly. I'm having a hard time dealing with both habits. If the gum is used to quit smoking what can she use to quit the gum?

The only thing I suggest from experience is exercise. the natural high helps and decreases craving for the gum. I have also heard of several herbal remedies.

I smoked for 30 years during which time I tried to quit several times with no sucess. My doctor prescribed Wellbutrin (like Zyban) and told me to use the patch along with it. It worked!

I definately recommend them.

Good luck,

jan
