Does it work? What are the side effects? I’d love to hear more about this type of stop smoking aid.
Has Anyone Tried the Shot as a Stop Smoking Aid?
Best Quit Smoking Aids
Have you personally quit smoking cigarettes or known someone who has? If so, what if any quit smoking aids did they use to help them and in what manner were they used? I want to try my 4th attempt at quitting smoking and all input and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Do Most People Need Quit Smoking Aids?
I thought this was an interesting story, by someone who didn’t use a quit smoking aid to quit:
I was a smoker, started when I was 11, married at 16. The moment the Doctor said I was pregnant, right as I walked out of his office, I dump my cigarettes in the garbage can!
I stayed quit for the nine months, all on my own, and believe quitting is a mental thing. Anything you set your mind to you can accomplish. I will admit though, some things are more difficult for some others, like I cant seem to lose weight for the life of me! But I dropped the smokes like a hot potato.
I want to add that I did go back to smoking each time I had my baby- had 3 of them – and when my baby daughter was 2 she picked up a pencil and pretended to smoke. I said right then NO MORE.
That was almost 17 years ago and I have not had a single smoke since then, just at the sight of one of my kids potentially picking up my nasty habit.
So it is possible, I guess, if you have the right motivation!
Do Quit Smoking Aids Even Work?
Quit smoking aids seem to work for some people and not for others. There are lots of different methods out there, including injections, laser treatments, gums, patches and just dropping the habit cold turkey. It may take several times, but there’s not wrong with quitting more than once!
Should You Use a Quit Smoking Aid to Quit?
If you have a serious disease that requires quitting smoking, but you still smoke, you might just have to use a quit smoking aid. Just think that it’s already bad for you – do you really want to exacerbate another medical condition with an expensive and foul smelling habit? Using a gum or even hypnotherapy will probably end up being more affordable to spending $7 on a pack of cigarettes every day anyway, so you’ll be saving yourself money in the end.
Free Help For Quitting Smoking Aid
My cousin is 35 years old and wants to quit smoking for many reasons (her health being one of them, obviously) – but mostly to win back her true love, whose is a SERIOUS non-smoker.
She doesn’t want to spend any money, so is trying to do it cold-turkey, but there are free quit smoking aids out there too. I told her to at least try to quitting hotline, a 1-800 number that’s free to use and provides lots of support.
Finding a Good Quit Smoking Aid
“Smoke-Away” is an over the counter choice if you think you need some help quitting – you can find it a most Wallgreens, Targets, Meijers or Walmarts. The kit also comes with a motivational CD and homeopathic ‘craving’ pills, which help fight the urge. I personally have known 2 long-term smokers who have successfully quit with this system.
If you’re not up for the kit, try hypnotherapy. Or you can even try a combo of both.
Best of luck!

Trying To Quit Smoking Again With a Quit Smoking Aid
A friend of mine quit smoking one and a half years ago and started back up five weeks ago. It’s been a stressful time; his personal life, family life and work life have been kind of a mess. He said, even with all the pressures, he was surprised how easy it was to pick up what he calls his ‘filthy’ habit. At first it was just a cigarette a day, maybe more if he was drinking, but now it’s almost a pack a day again. He’s hoping to quit again, with a quit smoking aid, and stick with it this time.
Throw them away, I said! Obviously he’s strong enough to do it again, just like he’s done it before. The biggest hurdle is not giving up, even if you feel like you’ve fallen back or failed.
