    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.
