Quit Smoking Aids
The nicotine in cigarettes causes an addiction and unpleasant feelings of withdrawal when a person tries to quit. Some people quit on their own, without outside help. But many smokers find it hard to break the habit of smoking while overcoming nicotine withdrawal symptoms. The good news is that there are many sources of support, including nicotine replacement therapy.
Nicotine replacement therapy provides the body with nicotine – generally in the form of a gum or patch - without the other harmful parts of tobacco. These aids can help a person concentrate more on quitting the habit of smoking by relieving the symptoms of withdrawal.
It is desirable to combine nicotine replacement therapy with other quit smoking programs. Studies have shown that using nicotine replacement therapy to handle the physical addiction along with a program that helps you change your behaviour, can double your chance of success.
