| Nicotine Quit Smoking |
Question:
Is there any means to determine which Nicotine Replacement therapy is best to help people quit smoking?
Answer:
Your weight and ethnicity may be key when choosing the nicotine-replacement
therapy that'll give you the best chance of kicking the habit for good.
Researchers now find that while the Nicoderm patch was especially effective
in helping thinner, white smokers quit, it was less successful for heavier
individuals and blacks, who fared better using the Nicotrol nasal spray.
The spray works by delivering a quick shot of nicotine to the system via the
nasal passages, whereas the patch delivers a steady, more gradual supply of
the chemical through the skin.
But smokers can and should turn to those who love them for valuable support
during their battle against nicotine.
Studies show that social support and encouragement is very important to the
quitting process.
