When looking at the overall quit smoking market, it is evident that nicotine replacement is everywhere and in many forms. There are pills, patches and gums to alleviate nicotine withdrawal symptoms for cigarette smokers. If a person considers quit smoking patches as a way to end their filthy habit, they might be wasting their time and money. Most people would be amazed to hear that they may not help someone break their filthy habit. For many, this may be a reality and it can be extremely frustrating to those who really would want to quit and get on with their life.

Many who have quit before will claim that there is no actual wrong way to quit smoking. People who are attempting to quit will tell you that they just want to quit, regardless of what method they try. Out of desperation, many will try anything regardless if they do not understand the effectiveness of such method. Quit smoking patches have aggravated people as they had to spend money to continuously be able to apply the patch on a regular basis. Many saw this as a way to stop purchasing cigarettes. However, cigarette cravings can become so strong that people need additional patches or actual cigarettes.

Quit smoking patches add to the problem as they prolong the nicotine addiction. If anyone had ever seen Allen Carr on national television trying to help people quit smoking, they would understand this concept. He questions how people could cure their addiction to a drug by taking more of the drug they are addicted to. In other words, nicotine replacement usually contains nicotine and nicotine is what people crave when they quit smoking. How could people stop being addicted to nicotine by taking more of it?

Quit smoking patches really mask the problem because they do not get to the root cause of the addiction. The root cause of the problem stems from the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is telling the individual that he or she needs nicotine to continue to feel better. The person believes that he/she needs this to feel relaxed, not bored and focused. These are some powerful reasons to an untrained mind. However, we see non smokers who are very relaxed, never bored and focused even with a highly stressful job. Even though these people do not smoke or take any pills, they are able to experience similar feelings compared to people that smoke.

When people believe that quit smoking patches will alleviate withdrawal symptoms, they do not understand that smokers have withdrawal their entire smoking life. This is the only reason they light the next cigarette. The point here is that smokers or people trying to quit will both experience nicotine withdrawal. Thus, a person that smokes another cigarette to alleviate nicotine craving is continuing their nicotine addiction. A person that takes nicotine replacement is continuing their nicotine addiction. Therefore, people should really consider cold turkey or other proven natural methods that can help them break their habit.
