The Truth About Other So-Called Quit Smoking Aids

• The Gum – The gum is very similar to the patch. It gives you little by little that blind hope that it some how miraculously cures your addiction. This is no different from taking an over-the-counter cold medication. Sure it will lessen the symptoms short term, but this is not the long term cure, and it’s also very expensive as well.

• Support Groups – Come on folks. Do you honestly believe that sitting around telling one another about your favorite past times as a smoker twice a day for the rest of your life is going to help you quit? Realistically, this will do nothing more than force you to think about smoking again 24/7.
  
  
• The Patch – Patches do nothing more than attempt to wean you off the nicotine by feeding you small doses around the clock. The problem is that these very EXPENSIVE patches will never rid your addiction. It simply suppresses the symptoms. In the end, you’ll always struggle with this nasty disease.
  
  
• One on One Therapy – This option is pretty common and it’s also very expensive and almost completely ineffective. No matter how many times someone simply “Ask” or even if they “Tell” you to quit smoking, it’s never going to happen. The psychology behind this problem goes much much deeper than that.
  
  
• Artificial Smoking Devices – Artificial smoking devices are very inexpensive and pose no known health risks or side effects. The problem with these devices is that once again it does not “Cure” the addiction. Using one of these devices will have you battling this problem forever.
  
  

As you can see, many of the popular "remedies" for smoking being passed around in daily life are actually perpetuating the problem. Ever make you wonder if these were invented by the tobacco industry itself to make money on top of making money? Hmm.
