Hi Gary

Thanks for all the info.Nicotine gum has been around in the UK for quite a few years now,i myself used nicotine patches with great success when i gave up a 30 year long 50 a day habit ,over six years ago.As a result of the impending smoking ban someone who i can only assume has been funded by the hospitality industry,has marketed a product which resembles a tea bag and people are being encouraged to slip these into their mouths between the lip and the gum when they are in places they cannot have a cigarette.I just wonder if in these enlightened days ,we really need something that in 5 or 10 years may in itself be making headlines for more worrying reasons.
