Sp0iLeD_SheDeViL answered Monday February 21 2005, 4:58 pm: My dad used the nicoderm gum, and that worked pretty good, but then he started again.But when he finally got the tobaccoless ciggarette, he quit.What it does is make you feel like your smoking a ciggarette becuase it looks just like one but when u inhale it you only inhale air.
CraziForRey619 answered Monday February 21 2005, 3:47 pm: Tell your friend to get nicotine tubes. It basically feels and looks like a ciggarette, without the hazard. He can slowly stop smoking like that since normally NOT smoking for awhile never works. The patches are also good, but he can't just altogether stop without nothing. It's too hard on the body.

You'd have to look it up though. Or try the Nicorette gum. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]

Shortie8959 answered Monday February 21 2005, 1:02 pm: Well, I don't smoke, but my brother does, and he's using the Nicorette gum stuff. It's orange flavored. And that's working really well. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

Karen answered Monday February 21 2005, 12:54 pm: Believe it or not, I have smoked before, for a few months and quitting was pretty hard but yet easy for me. Chewing gum will help a person to quit smoking. Also, if a smoker chews gum, it will distract them from smoking, that's why some smokers chew gum when they can't smoke at a certain place. Speaking of those patches, that company has made a gum that is mint flavored and it helps someone quit but I think you have to be a certain age to buy them. Tell your friend that he should go to a doctor to get something prescribed or have someone buy that gum. Hope I helped :)

S_C answered Monday February 21 2005, 12:52 pm: If you mean smoking cigarettes, then the smoking nasal spray works best, and has just recently been approved by the FDA (food drug association) and also the gum, and the patch work too. If you mean weed, then none of that stuff works, and he's going to have to stop on his own. But since you said the patch I just assumed you meant regular cigs. I've never smoked, but believe me, I have plenty of friends that do/did. Also we just studied, made a poster, and took a test on nicotine, and smoking and smokeless tobacoo and all that good stuff. So I know quite a bit about it. I would think that Nicotine Nasal Spray would work best, but I'm not sure how easy it is to get a hold of. Good luck though.

Dr.Phil answered Monday February 21 2005, 12:48 pm: well it depends on what he is smoking....... gum doesnt work, i heard you wil get adicted to the gum, its got nicatine in it, anyway the best way to quite is to start something else like drinken or something. or if its really bad tell him to smoke a whole carton in one shot. lol that wont work, the only reall way to quit is for your "friends" to decide what is right.
xXBabiiGurlXx answered Monday February 21 2005, 12:45 pm: Ok..i've never smoked but you could ask your doctor about different pills that can be prescribed to help. If you get gum prescribed by a doctor that is made to help stop smoking habits.
