@Lilly I've had a similar discussion on the forums regarding NRT before. NRT doesn't solve the problem with Nicotine addiction. It just shifts the focus from one source to another. Using NRT may have other side effects as well. The problem is that Nicotine is the addictive drug, it just doesn't matter which source it comes from. Compared to NRT, probably the only benefit, as far as I know, is that harmful tar (in the case of regular cigarettes) and chemicals released as vapor from the liquid (used in e-cigarettes), are not being inhaled. From what I've learnt, Nicotine as a stand-alone drug comes with its own health hazards. NRT may help some and may not help others. It depends from person to person. I am glad that NRT has helped you stay away from the more harmful cigarettes and e-cigarettes. I do hope that one day you will be completely Nicotine free. P.S. - I hope you weren't offended by my mention of NRT in my previous comment. If so, I am sorry.

Watched all three parts, what an eye opener!!! I still find myself trying to adjust mentally as an ex-smoker. Definitely an addictive product. Documentary doesn't touch on NRT and e-cigarettes though...i suppose because it was released a long time ago (1999). Maybe it needs a sequel. This is one documentary that everyone should watch (smoker/non-smoker/ex-smoker/never-smoker doesn't matter)

@Linda Thomas Thank you

@reciprocity I found that sticking to my pledge of "Nope" and taking one day at a time is working for me. I also watch a couple of Joel's videos daily to reinforce my quit.

As far as not smoking is concerned, all good so far. I will complete two smoke free weeks tomorrow, 15th April, 11:30 PM. Just sticking to my daily pledge of "Nope". Out of habit, the thought that its time for a smoke after eating still occurs sometimes and then I remember I'm smoke free and just forget about smoking. I drank Rum yesterday and did get triggered (for a very short while) for a cigarette but I did not smoke. @Doreensfree I'm assuming the part about being nosy was a joke.
