- 00/09/03 Committed Quitters SmithKline Beecham's support site; useful even if you don't use their products.
- There are new medications that can help you quit smoking. By themselves, they work. But smoking cessation experts, and smokers themselves, know that quitting requires more than dealing with the physical cravings alone. You need to deal with the psychological aspects of your smoking habit, and this requires changing your behavior. . . Experts agree, however, that the most effective behavioral support program is one designed just for you, and used in conjunction with a stop smoking aid, such as Nicorette® or NicoDerm® CQ®. In fact, clinical studies prove that the Committed Quitters Program® can improve your chances of quitting by more than 25%, versus the use of nicotine therapy replacement alone.
Please take a few minutes to explore this site, which offers a comprehensive guide for all smokers. No matter where you are in the quitting process, there is something here for you. Even if you have no interest in quitting, we can help you understand your smoking habit, and how it compares to other smokers.
But if you are interested in quitting, we can really help you. From understanding nicotine addiction and the range of quitting options available, to dealing with high risk situations once you have quit, you will find it here!
Your chances of quitting can improve when used with a counselling program.
