vento Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hi, ive used Nicotinell gum but find it hard and lack of taste all places in patty ive been to, have 2mg nicotinell with only mint flavour and it gets quite boring after a few days. Also i find the nicotinell gum a bit hard and nicorette seems (as far as i remember) more soft ive tried to find a place which sell nicorette gum but seems impossible. Anyone know of a place who stocks nicorette products? p.s. im in Pattaya, but i dont mind driving to Bkk if i need to... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaurene Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Am sure I see some in Frendship supermarket on South road. On the tobacco counter on the far left as you walk in, in front of the wines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdkane Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 A friend had the same problem...ultimately, he switched to electric "vaping" cigarettes...they offer the nicotine, but not the smoke...he orders the device and accessories on the net, from China...the cost is pretty cheap, according to my friend, and his health has improved significantly in only 6 months... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon4546543 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Is there any outlets for nicotine patches that are placed on your arm? I no longer smoke and I quit using cold turkey. My wife has older relatives and all want to quit but they don't have the will power to just stop. So I bought a heap of the chewing gum. Gum no good they all say. Patches are widely used in Australia and if the user is committed, they can stop using. I also wonder if importing a kilo of patches from Australia is legal. Any advice?

Patches are widely available i think. ive seen them in various pharmacies. At least they have nicotinell patch, step 1, which are the strongest one available. be aware, its quite expensive. i think about 800-900 baht for 7 days/patches. Not sure if there is a thai brand available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOUTHERNSTAR Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Nicorettes have been taken of the Thai market about 8 months ago. According to a pharmacist I spoke to, Nicorettes are being reformulated. I think its BS but have stopped using nicotene supplements (and stopped smoking) and didnt bother to follow up on the issue.

Postmaster Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I prefer Nicotinell 2 mg chewing gum above the Nicorette Gum. It too is getting harder to find and some retailers won't split the boxes. I don't need that many and chew only when having a glass of wine. Don't know whether Nicorette is more scarce sorry or who has a supply, You just have to keep trying many pharmacies to find what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help with the Nicolette gum but can highly recommend e-cigs as an alternate to traditional tobacco FMC's. After 25 years of smoking I switched to an e-cig and love it. I tried an FMC last month and hated the taste, lasted 1 puff and stubbed it out. For about 200 baht a week they are a great alternate. There are reports around stating e-cigs with nicotine have about 9 harmful carcinogenics in them which I can live with compared to the high number traditional FMC's have. No tar, no carbon monoxide and I can run 10km a day easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant remember the name, but most likely one of the biggest pharmacies around i think. also some of the small pharmacies in central festival, downstairs opposite the car park entrance, they will do it as well.

I live in Thailand but am currently in Europe where Nicorette Gum is freely available just about everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
