Stopping method

Among the methods available for quitting smoking, we hear a lot about some, such as nicotine patches and hypnosis. But these are far from the only ones: there are many others, and each may be more or less suitable for a given individual. Nicotine substitutes are also available in forms other than patches, such as chewing gum, lozenges, sprays or inhalers. Non-medicinal aids include tried-and-tested psychological approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapies. Physical activity and relaxation techniques can also help manage the anxiety associated with quitting smoking.
