    Hmm not bad for a sunday night is he?? :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I think first week you take one then up it to 2 or something like that lol but the course is for 8 weeks - wouldn't fancy that tho! some side affects to it one being can cause depression in some people and suicidal tendencies!! was talking about it today but had to shut up as DS2's gf came and her mum killed herself last year so not a good thing to discuss really

    How many did he smoke a day before he started taking the pills ? .... has he not smoked at all since he started on them ? .... not even a " crafty one " ? ...

    He was smoking about 25-30 a day and the Dr said that he had to carry on smoking while taking the pills till he didn't want to smoke - the Dr reckoned it'd take him a week or so but he only started the pills a week last thursday and he stopped on wednesday, his partner stopped on the monday - she said they just tasted horrible.

    Oooooooooh they sound strange ..... i mean smoking while you are on them .... until you cut out the fags ...

    Have you not had a single fag since you gave up ?

    Plus had a big fright the other week to which I haven't mentioned on here, my cousin who is only a few years older than me and smokes like a chimney was diagnosed with cancer of the mouth - really scared me! He had moaned about his gums feeling sore and went to dentists for a check up and they looked in his mouth and told him to go straight to his GP! how scary is that? His GP referred him straight to hospital!! Hopefully he's going to be ok but they're still doing tests on him!

    Well done ...... that's really good ....

    I know what you mean about affording them ! ...... the price of fags is a joke ! ...

    I always enjoy a fag or two , when i have a drink ! ...

    Great that " this thread " keeps you on the " straight and narrow " ....
