I know you can get nictotine gun from the chemists in Marmaris, so I would think you could get the patches too. The gum was cheaper than back home.

Get yourself to the doc ask for some Zyban and get yourself off the cigs for good.

I did it five weeks ago and have been off the cigs for almost four weeks. Amazing stuff and considering I've been smoking for 20 years I have had almost zero cravings!! :lol: What an amazing drug!!!

Ladyjan, there's a new version of it out called Champix, supposed to be much better but has half the side effects.

Now pull yourself together and get off those fags :wink: Remember, you need to be ready yourself to stop, the Zyban alone won't make you! Have heard hypno is good too, but again you need to put the willpower into it too. Good luck xxx

Wow Bryn, 17ytl is fab, the course for a month here costs the NHS about £150, of course I only pay the £6.85 prescription charge :lol: Who says the NHS is crap eh?!

Good luck bibbs!!!!

Now that you mention the nettle rash, I had it all over my hands this morning, but my wee boy has slapped cheek virus and we assumed that I had a very mild version of that. But omg, it was probably hives wasn't it! I'll keep an eye and if comes back out tommorow again will phone the doc. I forgot that was a side effect of Zyban! :shock: Wonder why its only coming out now though and I've been on it over a month! I did a fair few shandies over the weekend though, so good chance its a reaction :oops:

Anyway, sorry for hijacking the thread! lol

My sister is trying to quit at the moment and is taking Champix and hasn't smoked or had a craving for two weeks.
Regarding presciption prices in this country we definately get off lightly. Most countries charge for each individual medicine and as a widely prescibed medication such as Lansoprazole (used to treat peptic and acid indegestion) is over £50 to buy for a months course in this country we don't do badly.
neknit! good luck :lol:

The Patches that Bryn mentions are indeed 17YTL but only 7 . They are German and are called Nıcotinell and last for 24 hours each patch.So one month will cost you around70 YTL. No free breakfasts in Turkey apart from the Fags of course.

Ian, Nicotinell is a very common and popular brand patch here in the UK - and it costs anything from about £12 upwards for a pack of 7. So it is indeed a lot cheaper in Turkey, if its 17ytl for a pack.
