| Best Way To Quit Smoking |
Question:
What's the best way to quit smoking?
Answer:
Steadily reducing the number of cigarettes smoked, along with using a
nicotine patch or gum, may be more effective in helping heavy smokers
kick their tobacco habit than quitping cold turkey.
According to a panel of smoking-cessation experts, offering hard-core
smokers more options such as using a nicotine-replacement tool while
still smoking, rather than outright quitting, can benefit smokers and
lead to smoking cessation.
The approach, known as exposure reduction, can help smokers who are
unable or unwilling to quit lower their intake of harmful carcinogens
and tars contained in cigarettes.
