One week is not quit...it is merely the beginning of a long journey.
Nicorrette gum is a waste of money because you are still feeding the addiction to the nocotine. So once you feel you have smoking beat you have to ween yourself off the gum.
Seems pretty pointless....cold turkey is where its at.

And maybe your right the nicorette is still feeding my urge for nicotine, but in my point of view, still better to be addicted to the gum then the actual cigarette (health wise an money wise). Obviously as stated previously I cannot go cold turkey, so knowing my self i have much better chances with nicorette then nothing at all.

Nicotine is said to be more addictive than heroin and the withdrawals from it are very similiar. Go ahead and keep eating the nicotine straight like that.....then check out your withdrawals when you go to quit the gum.

There is the physical addiction, which the nicorette will address, and the psychological addiction. You are only going to get the adverse physical effects from withdrawal for a week or so. After that, it is the psych thing of not giving in to the habit. It is really one of the worst things you can do to yourself.
