How can I quit smoking without using substitutes?

Categories FAQ
Smoking cessation
Stopping method

Quitting smoking is a complex process, because addiction is threefold: psychological, physical and behavioral. Everyone reacts differently. Less than 5% of smokers manage to quit without outside help. Most people use nicotine substitutes, which act on the physical dependence to maximize their chances of quitting. Other types of help are available to make quitting easier (hypnosis, support groups, etc.). You can also consult a healthcare professional for psychological support, and enlist the help of those around you. You can combine all these solutions.
