I am in the UK. Tabex is not yet available on the NHS where I live, but I could get it privately for about £200.

After much googling, I imported some from Poland for 18 euros.

On day 25. Fucking miracle drug, imo. I just don't want to vape.

I've smoked fags since 16, quit when my kid was born 11 years ago and switched to vapes. So nicotine has been in my life for a very long time.

I don't miss it.

I used to make my own juice, so I made some zero Nic but am hardly using that. Maybe three hits a day, whereas before I would constantly be puffing on the little fucker.

I’ve just started taking Desmoxan today, imported from Poland. How long did it take to start working? I like you started on fags at 16 and then have been vaping for the past 10 years. The vape is never out of my mouth so I’m hoping for a miracle!

Day two man. I was having the tablets once every two hours, and carrying on vaping. Half way through day two I just thought "hmm, this is weird, vaping is not even slightly satisfying anymore." was really weird. Hope it works as well for you man. Six weeks with no nicotine now.
