Nicorette works?
Just wanted to say to fellow pilots that smokes, Nicorette works wonders.
I was a heavy smoker for 10 years and I was a bit sceptical to Nicorette.
But I have not been smoking for one month now and Nicorette helped me to stop smoking really easy.
For me it was just impossible to quit smoking. But to go from cigarettes to Nicorette and then stop Nicorette is really easy and I highly recommend this route.
When I was smoking I measured my blood pressure every second day and I had avarage 140/90 and bpm was about 90. After two days that quit smoking my blood pressure fell to avarage 115/75 and bpm 70.
People saying that smoking doesn't raise the blood pressure are dead wrong. Then only thing that is true is that the Nicotine itself is not raising the blood pressure because my blood pressure went down even when I was chewing Nicorette (My body had its daily nicotine level). So it must be something else in the cigarette that raises the blood pressure and heart rate.
Anyway if you want to stop smoking I highly recommend nicorette chewing gum.
