Don't you have this in Canada or America? No wonder no-one answered! It is very good for giving up cigarettes and is called NTR-'nicotine replacment therapy'. Nicorette and Nicotinell are two brands of gum that contain nicotine . You chew it while giving up the ciggys.
The theory is that you can overcome the psychological dependency ofsmoking- ie lighting, holding, inhaling, habit etc. Then when you have got used to that you gradually give up the gum. It works for getting away from smoking! I have no desire to smoke- YuK!! But I am finding giveing up the gum hard. Still even though one can get addicted to it it is alot better than smoking. Its safer - just a stimulent like strong coffee.
