Now I rarely complain. Usually only about paying too much sometimes. I hardly ever get upset about something on TV. But the latest Nicorette ad has caused me to complain to the Advertising Standards Authority.
The ad states as a matter of fact that giving up cigarettes is easier and more successful using a nicotine injection technique (such as their patches) rather than the “cold turkey” approach (adopted by “Paul” in the picture). This is, in my opinion, a lie and the opposite is more correct according to many professionals who work in this field.
I know they can get away with conning the public because they can afford to spend millions on “research” that “proves” their point. It shows that nicotine replacement therapy works better in their tests than a placebo. It doesn’t show that worldwide more people give up with these products than with will power alone. Trust me, will power and cold turkey do work. They’ve been working for years before NRTs even existed.
So the result is people are lied to and assume that they have to spend money on nicotine replacement techniques, fail and continue smoking. This belief and this ad – no exaggeration – are killing people! For a free and easy way to stop smoking, visit my website www.quitcigs4free.com
I wonder if people are aware that there are several approaches and strategies when it comes to quitting smoking?
Quitting smoking has always been a difficult task buz your body will show some resistance until your blood composition becomes normal.
Yes nicotine replacement doesn’t work because the alternate of nicotine is not provide the complete satisfaction.
The reason NRT is ineffective is
Smoking it provides an instant lung hit of nicotine which rapidly goes to the brain.
Gums,patches,etc.. are all slower releases of smaller amounts.
your not just addicted to nicotine your addicted to it in a huge lightning bolt dose method. same reason a heroin addict could have a very hard time getting relief by taking large quantites/varieties of scripts orally. he doesn’t just need the chems he needs the delivery time upgraded to rapid express as well.
It is however a million times healthier as the tar and by products of combustion (smoke) is what kills you and makes you feel like tired. If you did use NRT your lungs would be healing all the same and that is the most important thing.
Very pricey for profit thing. Use it if you need it because using anything is better than continuing to breath smoke and if you got the balls (need very very steel like ones) go cold turkey.
Hey, fe56, what you say about the speed of injection of the drug into your blood stream makes sense. However, I did do cold turkey and I didn’t need balls of steel. I have a website dedicated to my free and easy way to give up smoking here. Thanks.
