It seems that in just about every department or large chain store and pharmacy there is advertising pinned up for stop smoking aids. There are literally hundreds of brand names all stacked together in aisles across the world giving the 'soon to be ex-smoker' a multitude of choices.
But with so many 'guaranteed' options available, how does one choose the best stop smoking aid? Well, invariably, you do what most people do and choose to remain a smoker.
One could argue that all you need to do is pick one type of aid, try it and if it doesn't work then move on to the next one. I guess if it was that easy and feasible to do so more people would stop.
No stop smoking aid is going to be a 100% effective. There is no magic formula here. You do however have to get started somewhere and if you need some help to quit then perhaps starting with the top three most popular aids would be best.
1. Nicotine Stop Smoking Gum
Nicotine gum was the first stop smoking aid to be marketed. For many heavy smokers, the higher volume gum is needed to help curb the real, hard attacks that come from nicotine. These gums are subsequently produced in both two milligram doses and four milligram doses, the latter being used for smokers that need that extra kick in the right direction.
2. Quit Smoking Lozenges
Instead of chewing, the lozenges are meant to be sucked on like a lifesaver candy and will be a real lifesaver. Some people prefer the lozenges over the gum because chewing in a meeting or when speaking to a crowd is bad manners. They can go on with their day without worrying about others. The lozenges also come in different brands and different flavors.
3. The Nicotine Patch
The nicotine patch is placed on your skin and comes in 21 mg, 14mg or 7 mg. Most patches are worn for 16 or 24 hours and are replaced with a new one on a different area of skin. Nicotine is absorbed through the skin while the patch is on and your dosage will depend on how many cigarettes you smoke a day.
If you are looking to quit smokeless tobacco you can also use any of these quit smoking aids. If you chew tobacco you may prefer to make use of the nicotine chewing gum as this may give you the same sensation and so be easier when trying to quit.
You may try a certain type of quit aid and it may not work for you, either because of your lifestyle or because of your personal preference. Don't worry about this; it is normal for those trying to quit to try various options The point is to try whatever it takes to stop.
