NICOTINE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (NRT) AND OTHER METHODS TO STOP SMOKING.

Nicotine replacement therapy involves nicotine being absorbed into your bloodstream from an external source such as patches, gum, inhalers, etc - in fact any source other than cigarettes. This is designed to quell the cravings of nicotine during your quit process. All the forms of NRT have a success rate of only 10%-30%, depending on the scientific study. This means that 70-90% of the time people fail. Not only does NRT fail most of the time, it also has dangerous side effects. Such as: nausea and indigestion, itching and redness of the skin if using patches, and nightmares - occasionally the side effects can be more serious. So there is very little chance of it working, and a very big chance of physical harm. Hypnosis is completely safe, drug and chemical free and WORKS…which is why we offer our commitment to help you quit for life.
