This information is to help you choose the method that suits you best

 The NHS offers help to those who wish to stop smoking with the following drugs;

Chantix has a 40% success rate, also has many unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side effects, treatment takes 12 weeks with sometimes a further 12 weeks and requires counselling support
 
Zyban has a 30% success rate, there are many unpleasant and in some cases lethal side effects, treatment takes 7 to 12 weeks and requires psychiatric support and sometimes counselling.
 
Patches have a 15% success rate, have many unpleasant side effects and in some cases patients become addicted to the patches; treatment takes up to 12 weeks and benefits from counselling or professional support.  This is the method offered by Coventry City Council for a small fee.
 
Gums and Inhalers have a very limited success rate and are occasionally harmful.

All these methods require a lot of willpower to succeed.

Hypnosis and in particular Creative Mindpower Techniques (developed by Dr. Frank Lea) are proven to have a 90% success rate, is 100% safe with absolutely no side effects, treatment takes about one hour with very occasionally a 2nd treatment being needed and very little if any willpower is required, people only need to have a genuine desire to stop smoking for themselves to assure success.

This is not yet available on the NHS but is well worth the cost.  -  Take advantage of the HALF PRICE OFFER valid to end of 2010
