• NRT is a scam and your addiction is the scammer. You’re trying to stop poisoning yourself and you think you need a substitute for the poison! This isn’t benzos we’re talking about here, Nicotine has a half life of max two hours. The withdrawal is not that bad at all, it’s over within four days! I just reached 87 hrs nicotine free and it was a breeze, no titration or NRT or antidepressants or anything.

    JUST DO IT!!

      I think the hard part is if you’re the type to crave nicotine when you’re extremely stressed out. I go through cycles where I’ll quit nicotine for a year or so, and then something really difficult would happen in my life and I’ll start back up again.

      • This is why you shouldn’t be acting judgemental and giving advice about “how easy it is” to kick an addiction that you yourself have only abstained from for 3 whole days.

        To be clear this is directed at the person you’re responding to not you personally.
