Cigarette smoking is a widespread habit that has causes a lot of deaths each year. As a matter of fact, 440,000 people die from cigarette smoke each year in the United States alone. Statistics show that one out of three adults or 1.1 billion people worldwide have the habit. The most glaring statistic is the fact that 80% of the 1.1 billion smokers of the world have become addicted to using tobacco well before they reached the age of eighteen years.
Because a lot of people know the severe effects of having such a habit, a majority of smokers have made several attempts to quit. Unfortunately, this habit is quite addictive and difficult to let go of. The addictive component of tobacco is nicotine, which is considered even more addictive than heroine and cocaine. As the nicotine intake of a body increases, it becomes physically and psychologically dependent on it. Most users cannot kick the habit because they have a craving for the pleasurable feelings that nicotine induces and they do not realize that they are signing their own death warrants.
Fortunately, smokers who plan on kicking the habit can now depend on aids like the nicotine patch and the stop smoking injection to stop this addiction.
The Nicotine Patch
A nicotine patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to deliver a time-released dose of medication thorough the skin and into the bloodstream. This is used as a method to break nicotine dependence through smoking.
There are several steps that a person needs to undergo in order to break this dependence as the nicotine patches come in 3 dosages of 21 milligrams, 14 milligrams and 7 milligrams. The amount of tobacco a person usually consumes in a day determines the strength of the patch they need to start with. A heavy tobacco user will be initially given the maximum strength for 6 weeks and a moderate user will be given the 14 mg nicotine patch and so on.
After the initial phase the person will be given the lower dosage for another couple of weeks and then finally the lowest dosage will round off a total of 13 weeks usage. At the end of this period, a person should have broken the addiction to nicotine.
The Stop Smoking Injection
Although this system may be too good to be true, it is actually available in the market. People who have tried it swear that they have stopped smoking altogether. A stop smoking injection is one of the most successful methods used to help someone quit smoking. It has a 70-80% success rate.
The stop smoking injection contains substances that block the nicotine receptors in the brain. Since your brain does not recognize nicotine anymore, the craving for it stops. Generally, one-stop smoking injection should be enough to help someone stop his or her tobacco use, but there are some cases where another injection is needed. The good news is that the stop smoking injection is very affordable, especially if you compute the money that you spend on tobacco products as well as the future costs of your medical bills.
Although both systems are quite effective, using a stop smoking injection makes quitting easier because it doesn't require a lot of doses. It only takes a shot or two to end a smoker's nicotine craving. Smoking cessation can't get any easier than that.
