I suggest you tell your doctor about it. Maybe there's some program or professional out there who can help you to get rid of the nicotine addiction once and for all. 
Have you checked on the Internet about such programs? I would think you might find some scientific studies with a bit of searching. Best of luck in quitting the nicotine habit! |
I mentioned in brief to the Dr the other day but he was fixated on another issue so just said 'that's not good... but about bla bla bla' so I'll mention it again when I see him in a month.
And yes, it is meant to ween you off. I guess I'm the sort that sees the positives in my errors as it were. i.e. I like nictotine... but I can't smoke at work or in public places, + it makes me cough alot and smell... so I'll chew gum = win win.
Coming to the conclusion that I'm chewing them excessively though and friends and family have been on my case about it so I guess I ought to do something... or reassure them in some way (partly the initial direction of the topic).
I'll chat to the doc soon and see what he says.
