Taking a Look at Medical Stop Smoking Aids

Nicotine patches and gum

The idea behind nicotine replacement therapy is that:
a) nicotine is addictive and so
b) smokers get withdrawal symptoms if they stop smoking themselves.

Nicotine patches claim to help smokers overcome possible withdrawal effects of quitting smoking by releasing nicotine into the body that is replacing one form of nicotine with another. But even with patches or gum you will still need willpower, as nicotine replacement therapy will not completely remove the desire to smoke.

Promoting nicotine replacement therapy claims a success rate twice that of willpower. Will power helps about 5 to 7% compared to nicotine replacement therapy which represents a success rate of between 10% – 14%.

Reported side effects: skin rash (patches), insomnia, nausea, sores in the mouth (gums) and indigestion.

Nicobrevin
Nicobrevin is sold as a nicotine-free supplement to relieve withdrawal symptoms of quitting smoking. It states to calm your nerves, and blocking the craving for cigarettes.

Zyban
Zyban (bupropion hydrochloride) is an anti-depressant drug used to help smokers stop smoking.

Reported side effects include insomnia, headaches, seizures and death!

Champix (Varencline)
Champix is a course of tablets. The claim is that you are less inclined to smoke when the blood level of nicotine falls, and also makes cigarettes less satisfying.

Reported side effects of Champix: Some users have reported feeling depressed or suicidal!

I stopped when I knew I was pregnant and I’m now enjoying my life and spending more time with my family, my baby girl is just over 2 years old and I’ve never touch another cigarette – Thank you so much”

“I’ve tried several times giving up and failed miserably. Then my daughter introduced me to Lee Milteer’s stop smoking audios. I was very skeptical at first but the more I read about Lee the more I trusted her. It is very comforting to know that there are real people out there who are trying to help people like me who have a serious problem like I had (chain smoker). I’ve been free from smoking for 3 months now and it feels so great to be a non-smoker”
