Have you desperately tried to quit smoking and just can’t seem to kick the habit?  “Evidence suggests that nine out of 10 smokers will attempt to quit cold turkey at some point.”  If you really want to quit, but the thought of going a day without a cigarette makes you sick to your stomach, than you need to get some help.  You don’t have to quit alone and in fact most medical experts don’t recommend quitting the habit cold turkey.

“Research has found that fewer than 5 percent of smokers succeed when they go cold turkey.  The data generally don’t support cold turkey as a method of quitting.” Says Thomas Glynn, PhD, director of cancer science and trends and international cancer control for the American Cancer Society.  “A better way is to combine counseling with medication.”  Research has also found that people who use medications or nicotine replacement therapies like the nicotine patch, nicotine gum, or nicotine inhaler can double or triple their chances of quitting successfully.  When you go cold turkey, you are essentially shrugging off medical advances designed to make it easier for you to quit.

If you are ready to quit than don’t wait anymore.  Contact us now and get help.  You don’t have to do it alone.
