The final furlong

[2] Watching your weight

While you were using nicotine replacement products, your body was still receiving nicotine.

Hopefully you've not gained weight (don't panic if you have). Switch first and then lose weight.

Once you start 'stepping down' the level of nicotine replacement, you may start gaining weight.

We share our simple approach to weight control. Most of our users find this section really helpful.

[3] Avoiding overconfidence

At this stage, many describe their current state as 'bullet proof'.

As we have indicated, it is worth taking the time to avoid a lapse. We suggest some ways to do this.
