There are so many different quit smoking products out on the market today, from pills to shots, but more than anything you’re going to need a serious desire to kick the habit.  Without the want to be smoke free, your struggle will be fruitless!

More and more you hear about alternative measures being used in helping a person to stop smoking.  I recently heard several people at the library discussing a stop smoking laser similar to traditional acupuncture.  Apparently, for one of the women, it was a very effective technique.  I looked into it and apparently there are facilities in most metropolitan areas that provide this type of treatment.

Nothing is guaranteed of course, and you do need a lot of will power. You also have to really want to give up.

Chantix is the most popular of the stop smoking pills, but without insurance it’s going to run you $300-500 for a 12 week supply. The patch is probably going to cost you slightly under $150 for a six week supply depending on where you live, so it’s a cheaper alternative.  Also, Chantix has gotten mixed reviews. One study shows that there is only a 1/5 success rate…but I know of quite a few people who have used it and quit successfully.

Paying a good sum of money for an aid of this sort is almost a type of motivation.  Who wants to fail after sinking that much money into success?
