Don't believe everything you read or hear!
I hate to admit it because pharmaceuticals do a lot of life saving good - no doubt about it! But they're also very BIG corporations that want profits! And they're very good at propaganda.
And Tobacco Corporations who supply NRTs - well, don't get me started!
Now please don't jump to conclusions - I'm speaking here about me, OK?
If you choose to use NRTs or pharmaceuticals then that's your business and just fine with me - as long as you don't smoke!!!!
If you are still making up your mind, consider this:
What Message Should Smokers Get about Cessation?
- There is good news about cessation: in a growing number of countries, there are more ex-smokers than smokers.
- Up to three-quarters of ex-smokers have quit without assistance (“cold turkey” or cut down then quit), and unaided cessation is by far the most common method used by most successful ex-smokers.
- A serious attempt at stopping need not involve using NRT or other drugs or getting professional support.
- Early “failure” is a normal part of trying to stop. Many initial efforts are not serious attempts.
- NRT, other prescribed pharmaceuticals, and professional counselling or support also help many smokers, but are certainly not necessary for quitting.
