The Magic Stop Smoking Pill
by Darren Warmuth
If you are a smoker and have come to the point that you want to quit smoking, you will need to put in some effort on your part, because there is no such thing that can work without your willing assistance. So, stop looking for the All New Recently Improved Super-Duper Stop Smoking Miracle Cure that 99% of smoking cessation products promise.
Well, I am afraid I have some bad news for you. It doesn't exist yet. You still have to want to quit and put some effort in of your own. Yes, you read that right. You need to make the change and implement it of your own accord.
You need to know some facts about the 'magic pills'.
* Quitting cold turkey is successful for approximately 3% of people (keep in mind that those 3% may not have quit on their first attempt).
* Most off-the-shelf pharmaceuticals claim they can double your chances and increase them fivefold at best. So, all you achieve is a 6% to 15% success rate.
* Some other newly released products claim that they can achieve nearly twenty times the effectiveness of cold turkey. But, there is a catch. These numbers were gained by tracking a fully supported test group who got their medication for free and were watched over for the full term of the test phase by a team of doctors and counsellors. And, they were also paid for their efforts on top of it. Now, who wouldn't quit if someone else was willing to spend thousands of dollars and dozens of hours to help you do it? So, there is nothing great about the new wonder drug. Most people are not fortunate enough to get such an option. And it is more likely that this new and improved wonder drug will ultimately fall into the same percentages as every other pharmaceutical offering.
So the magic 100% success rate is a total myth. It is wishful thinking on the part of pharmaceutical companies that try to captivate the desperate smokers desperately trying to give up smoking without making any effort. This is not to say that smoking cessation does not help at all; it does aid sometimes. But, as the good old saying goes, God helps those who help themselves. These wonder drugs also help more if you place your faith in yourself and your ability to achieve your stop smoking goal rather than place all your bets on a pill or a patch.
You may argue that if you had the willpower, you wouldn't seek such measures in the first place. True, will power has to be built slowly and steadily. But the first step here is education and information. You should be aware of the real truths about your smoking habit and what it really takes to rid yourself of it. Since you cannot grasp all the information from an article or even a series of articles, you need to take a fully developed program that leads you step-by-step to your goal. There are several fully encompassing information programs to help you meet this goal.
I encourage you to seek out all the information you can find about smoking, nicotine, quitting and the benefits of quitting. You've spent years or decades developing your smoking habit, so now spend a few days or weeks even, finding the information that will help you quit without relying on a 'magic pill' to do it for you.
You'll find that the more you know, the more successful you will be. This advice doesn't just apply to quitting smoking, but in everything you do in life.
To your very best in future,
Darren Warmuth
