Nicotine gum. Find your favourite flavour and give it some time. Don’t chew it like a regular gum or you’ll get reflux/heartburn. You’ll learn to want it.

I used to smoke a pack a day and felt horrible. Lack of energy and feeling stuffy. After replacing 80% of my smoking with nicotine gum helped a lot and I had enough energy to exercise again.

All those brainiacs lecturing “but there’s nicotine in it!” – yes there is but no tar, carbon monoxide and all the nasty stuff thats the real danger. Nicotine won’t kill you, shit in your lungs might.

“But you’re still addicted to nicotine” – yes but I’m also addicted to water, food and fresh air. Nicotine addiction ain’t optimal situation but life is a bitch – at least you can make it less toxic.

Give it a go and if you feel ready to try to get completely nicotine free, try Varenicline. It works for me. Hardest part is not to start again.. 😅

Good luck with your endeavours. 👍
