Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Although some experts have advised against reducing smoking in favour of stopping abruptly, a new study reports that nicotine replacement therapy can help smokers. Smokers are twice as likely to stop in the long run if they use nicotine repalcement to help them quit gradually. Researchers studied seven trials involving 3000 people. Result: 6.75% of those using nicotine replacement were able to go six months without smoking. This is twice as many as those who used a placebo. Other studies have reported that 1/2 of those individuals who stop smoking for six months do quit for life.
