smoking cessation
"I've been a 1 to 2 pack a day smoker for over 40 years.  I purchased a supply of Equate(Walmart Brand) 4 Mg nicotine gum and have used it for the last week.  I find it lasts longer than a cigarette and usually do not even use the recommended 9 pieces a day.  You do need to follow the chewing instructions which are more like using chewing tobacco than gum.  If you chew too fast you can get the hiccups but aside from that, it has worked wonders.  Of course, you have to "want" to quit first!  Good luck to all, hope it works for you as well as it has for me."
