    Not a smoker myself but I can't help notice the amount of devices or aids there are to help people give up the fags. I don't think most of these are adequate.
    Why? Most people I know who tried or have knock the fags all mention that when your having a drink,like a pint, the craving for a tag is immense, also coffe and tea applies.
    Why not bring out drink with nicotine in them, like Nickohol or Alocrette?
    Is it possible?

    Also handbrellas for using your phone when it's raining, although the Xperia Z pisses all over that.

    You need to taste nicorette chewing gum to fully appreciate why it would never work in a drink ;)

    Smoking isn't just about getting nicotine into your system, if it were then nicotine patches and other nicotine replacement things would be 100% effective for smokers who want to quit, so having a drink with nicotine in it would be no more effective in any other nicotine-based cigarette replacement (not to mention that it would most likely taste frigging disgusting).

    Apparently the e-cigarette things are really good though, I know a few people who have quit smoking through them and swear by them since they don't just give you a nicotine fix but "feel" like a smoke too while you wean yourself off smokes, and you can even use them in the pub and stuff so very handy.

    Electronic cigarettes exist and work well as long as you don't get the cigarette-style ecigs.
    Anybody not using them either had a bad experience with a crappy one, hasn't heard of them or would rather die than hold something larger than a cigarette.

    Might improve most pints of lager that are served nowadays.

    Adding an addictive substance like nicotine to alcoholic drinks, what could go wrong?

    Of the death sticks nearly 4 weeks, but going drinking tomorrow for the first time since I stopped smoking. Not looking forward to the cravings, not at all. Don't want to go the e-cig route either, going cold turkey.

    Lovely fags!

    Jeeeeeez, stop teasing yourself!

    Good luck wth the session. 4 weeks is already a sizeable hump to get over, so it probably won't be as bad as you'd imagine.

    I retched the first time I tried it. It's worse than smoking a cigarette for the first time.

    Thanks to e-cigs it's been 8 months since me last package of fags. (I have smoked the odd fag while langers, not due to craving, but due to "craic" or mere curiosity.)

    Was a 20 a day smoker for 12 years .... THEY FKUCKIN WORK ANYWAY! Don't be one of those "cold turkey or stay on the fags" arse holes.
