How I quit smoking…

I am a former smoker, thanks to Nicotine Gum. It may be expensive, but in the long run, I am saving, due to the health issues smoking causes, as everyone knows.

How did I start? I was at my neighbors house having a drink. She is a smoker, and I started socially smoking. Not good I have asthma. 

I woke up the next day, after drinking and smoking with my neighbor, and I was craving a cigarette. So, off I went to my neighbors house I went for a cigarette. Almost all my co-workers smoke, so it’s a social thing as well as addicting.  I kept smoking for 3 months. 

My husband was mad, I would wease at night, my asthma was bothering me. Then I had pneumonia. I was so sick. This definitely taught me a lesson. I went to the store and bought Nicotine gum. It is pricey, but it definitely replaced the nicotine cravings! 

I would smoke one in a while, I think it’s a social thing.

I had the Jakle and Hyde thing you go through. Oh I can’t have another cigarette, I need to quit, but I’m craving one so bad! Just drove me insane. Thank goodness for this gum. 

I have been chewing nicotine gum for 4 years! I spend about $30.00 a week on the gum, but it works and I have not smoked in three years. I don’t care how much I spend, I don’t want to be a smoker, I want to be able to breathe.

Now I need to wean myself off the gum, but I love this gum. It’s a stress reliever. I have done research, I don’t know the health effects, but my doctor told me it’s not good for your cardiovascular system.  

It burns your throat at first, but give it a try! For your health
