So you've motivated me to give them a try and i ordered some yesterday.
Fingers crossed they work,as i'm sick to death of going back and forth.
Anyhow,well done,and good luck with quitting smoking.

Wow, happy to hear I inspired you!
It makes a helluva difference as at least you don't have that horrible nicotine dip the first 3 days so you can focus on the rest of the addiction.
The first couple of days I made sure I had something to put in my mouth, a pencil, pen, whatever. You can also use straws, cut them cig length, use one until a craving has gone, then put it in the ashtray, or bin.
But since I didn't have straws available then I put a pen or pencil in my mouth. It did help.
And yeah, hanging in there. Three months until the oral craving part has gone. Fingers crossed, and for you too.
Go for it!!
