"It’s easy to quit smoking, I’ve done it hundreds of times" .Mark Twain
There are many different ways to GIVE UP SMOKING. Some experts advocate using pharmacological products to help wean you off nicotine, other say all you need is a good counselor and support group, or an organized program. To add to the confusion, you may find there is a study that says this way works better than that one, and then you look again, you find there is another study that says, no, that one works better than this one.
But one thing most experts agree on is that a combination works best. For example, nicotine replacement therapy on its own, or counseling on its own is not as effective as a combination of the two.
