Wow that's what you pay in USA #1 for Chantix??

I paid 20 GBP for the 3 month course and I've been off cigs for nearly 4 years as a result.

Agree the dreams were pretty funky.

Rexx, I was a terrible smoker and no one ever thought I could quit. Your bf should seriously consider Chantix/Champix.

Correct. If you love him don't drive him bat**** with messages. Good call.

Swedish snus does the trick for me. It's like dip, but you don't spit.

BJ's would certainly help, to the degree can be argued

I'm surprised it took until post #28 for someone to mention fellatio.

Def have him replace the addiction with something fun and new that he can have a genuine interest in.

Cutting back is okay I guess, but ultimately everyone has to quit cold turkey. One day you're doing nicotine in some form and the next day you're not. I was able to quit smoking and got hooked on nicotine lozenges instead. That's a good first step IMO.

If you can give up all nicotine for 72 hours, your blood will likely test negative for nicotine. Quitting for three days was by far the hardest part of the process for me. If he can give it up for three days, he needs to accept that he has basically beaten the addiction. Any cravings from then on are psychological. So he needs to accept victory and declare himself a non-smoker after three days. And don't get discouraged if you fail. Keep trying.

Generic Wellbutrin is a lot cheaper than that other stuff they mentioned up there. They had me taking it a long time, not for smoking it didn't have many side effects except made me hyper as **** to start with.

Chantix +1000000

I'm hoping things like increased sense of smell and taste will help spur him on.

Definitely think getting him back into sport would increase his chances staying off the cigs.

Thanks for responding Sumey. I will address Chantix down the bottom as so many people have recommended it.

Yes lol I am pretty sure he would come home unhappy with me if I began doing that. The snus looks interesting.

I would be willing to consider this if someone can show me studies that indicate it's helpful to the process lol.

Definitely think the new interest thing is a good idea

I agree. I would prefer he just gives up cold turkey but it's his journey and he needs to decide how to do it. It is slightly worrying as it seems like a bit of an indicator that he isn't really ready to give up and is delaying it as long as he can. If that's the case I will just have to accept it and try and consider it a win that he has at least cut down and possibly will be ready later.

I'll check it out, thanks.

Chantix seems to be a clear frontrunner in giving up smoking. I spoke to him in regards to it after I had done a little bit of research on it. It's not a definite no as we haven't researched it fully but one concern that stood out was possible psychological problems from the drug. My partner has no history of mental health issues but there is some family history of reasonably serious mental health illness. So yeah idk. Need to look into it more.

Thanks so much to everyone for responding. It's really reassuring hearing from people who have successfully quit and POV from people trying to quit.

Just a quick update. My bf went cold turkey and has been off them for a month now so fingers crossed it sticks. Thanks again to everyone who contributed.

you guys should have some wine to celebrate

Once he reaches the 3 month mark we will celebrate with copious wine, coke and lollies!

Are lollies just lollypops or some kind of Aussie candy that adults consume?

Lollies are just candy. Does candy include little chocolate treats and jubes? For example my mum would say I could buy some lollies from the corner shop and it covered things like caramel buds, jubes, bananas etc. Kids eat lollies Greg, they aren't some X rated food for adults that will ruin your search history.

Yes but adults don't consume lollipops, which is what the rest of the world means by lollie. I just figured you were some freak who walked around sucking on lollipops all day like you were on ecstasy.

Screw the rest of the world! I'm pretty sure you can get drug lollipops but I have no idea what the terminology is. I'm a bit out of the loop in regards to current drug speak. Choof or choofing is my favourite Aussie drug slang.

Wow there are a lot of schoolhouse rocks I've never seen. I've got I'm Just a Bill, Conjunction Junction and Interplanet Janet as top 3. Meh, Janet not nearly as good as I remembered.

To coincide with the 30th anniversary, Walt Disney released a VHS in 2002 featuring the Top 25 songs of the series. The countdown, which was succeeded by "I'm Gonna Send Your Vote to College", ran as follows, in reverse order:

1. "Conjunction Junction"
2. "I'm Just A Bill"
3. "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here"
4. "Electricity, Electricity"
5. "Interjections!"
6. "The Preamble
7. "Three Is a Magic Number"
8. "Interplanet Janet"
9. "A Noun Is a Person, Place, or Thing"
10. "The Shot Heard 'Round The World

I think Conjunction Junction will always be my favorite.

"Hooking up words, and phrases, and clauses like..."

"I got And, But , and Or...they'll get you pretty far."

"Milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice, hey that's nice!"

Dafuq are jubes? Sounds like jewfro, only lower.

And yeah, in USA#! lolly isn't really used, but if it were it would be short for lollipop, which is hard candy on a stick.

.

Jube short for jelly cube??
