I Brought a friend to SGH Pharmacy during lunch time to see a pharmacist to get high on nicotine... No la... the truth is, he's a heavy smoker, 35-40 sticks a day, easily costing him $600-$700 a month. I really want to help him quit for the sake of his children. Imagine saving that amount of money for less than a year the whole family could afford to go Korea for a week.

The pharmacist recommended him Nicotine patch, each box with 7 patches cost $19++, better than him spending $150 a week on cigarettes.

He got a pretty high ego, he keep insisting he'll be able to quit with in a month, but the pharmacist shook her head and warned him on his attitude, Cos he's been smoking everyday for 20 over years, it will take a while.


In order to completely quit it, he'll have to embark on a 8 weeks detox program. Starting with higher dosage of nicotine, reducing gradually until finally rid of it from the body.

She warned him about the withdrawal symptoms, becoming cold turkey. My friend laughed at it... wait till he go thru it.
