Smoking! The worst thing I ever did was start smoking and the hardest thing I've ever did was stop. Nicotine is probably one of the most addictive drugs on the planet. I've spoken to former heroin addicts who said giving up heroin was easier than stopping smoking. Smoking related diseases are the biggest killer in the UK, and costs the tax payer a fortune. So why doesn't why doesn't the government ban smoking? 9.3 billion pounds in tax revenue is the answer, its a lot of money.
So what are the options if you want to stop smoking? Will power..will power alone is the hardest way to pack in smoking, any one who smokes will know what I am on about. Then theirs the gum and lozenge's they do work but the down side that I found was that I became addicted to them, and had a battle giving them up, after all they are nicotine. Every one is different and different products suit different people and I can only speak from my own personal experience.
I stopped smoking using another method, basically a course of tablets that lasted about 12 weeks, they work by tricking the brain into thinking its had a dose of nicotine and the best part is they don't contain nicotine, there are a few side effects though, I had a banging head ache and a dry mouth from time to time, but they are not as bad as the side effects of smoking. I have stopped smoking now for 9 months and so far so good. I feel a 100% healthier now,it took a bit of will power but the end result was worth it. "Good luck on giving up".
