| Smoking Cessation Aids |
Question:
Looking for smoking cessation aids as I am going to go cold turkey in 2 weeks time and want a bag of tricks to help me.
Answer:
Now smokers have increased access to nicotine
replacement therapy smoking cessation aids. They provide just enough nicotine to
help relieve nicotine cravings; without the harmful ingredients in
cigarettes -- thus allowing people to concentrate on changing their
behaviors.
Since non-prescription nicotine replacement therapy comes in two
forms -- gum and patch -- Dr. Shiffman suggests that smokers evaluate
their smoking habits and history in order to choose the right therapy
for them. Nicorette nicotine gum provides active craving control,
allowing users to control their dosage of nicotine and to fight cravings
as they happen. The NicoDerm CQ nicotine patch provides a steady,
continuous dose of nicotine over a period of either 24 hours or 16
hours. Smokers who crave cigarettes in the morning may prefer a patch,
like NicoDerm CQ, that delivers nicotine for 24 hours.
