I found them to be quite expensive,over 100tl for 1 month supply and most people need more than one month to be able to stop.Me?was so shocked at the price vowed I wouldn't buy another packet that was 12 smoke free months ago.Probably the Scot in me.

You can get it at any chemist it is exspencive but not as bad as the cost of ciggies and it works ,but you have to want to stop ,i was on 30 a day in the end ,and have been smoking for over 50 years it is now 10 months since i had one ,just buy them you will have your money back in 2 months and you wont stink anymore of an ash tray ,mind you i wish i could have one now .:D

Thanks to everyone. Fortunately, they are not for me.

They are 140 quid in UK
I was on 3 packs a day and the wife on one pack.
Doesnt take long to repay.

Tom I asked in the chemist opposite Migros today, they are 170tl for 1st month then 180tl per month for the next 2 month. He reckons 90% success rate

Yes I was looking at them too, I dont think I will be buying them!

That's another reason not to stop smoking check out the side effects on any drug and you wont take them ,i took for two months over here not cheap but cheaper than ciggies ,no side effects no doubt someone will disagree ha give it up you know it makes sence . ;):D

Have to agree with Lance they are at the very least worth a try. Everyone is different. I took them for the 3 months for which I was prescribed - they are licenced for 6 months however it is thought that 3 is optimum. After 2 months I cut the dosage myself and still retain a pack in my bag just in case!
They arent the be all and end all and youve got to want to give up but I have to say that I think they are a miracle drug- at least so far! I cant say I would never start again because I dont know that, but for now I cant imagine I will.[:X]
