QuitSmart®
Program
Are You Ready to Quit Smoking?
If the answer is yes, choose a program with proven results. Developed by the Director of the Duke University Quit Smoking Clinic, QuitSmart has been proven most effective in three published scientific studies. In a study conducted at five U.S. Airforce bases, 66% of those who participated in a QuitSmart Stop Smoking program were still smoke free after 6 months, versus 16 to 30% of those who participated in four other well-known quit smoking programs.*
Why is it so difficult to quit smoking?
Emotional Dependence
Smokers learn to rely on cigarettes as a best friend. Smoking gives them something to do when they feel bored, to pick them up when they feel blue, to keep them company, to reward them for accomplishments large and small. QuitSmart teaches smokers ways to manage these situations without lighting up.
Habit
A person who smokes a pack a day for 20 years has taken more than a million puffs. Anything you do a million times becomes an important part of your day!. It can be difficult for a habitual smoker to talk on the phone or get through a meal without cigarettes. Many smokers believe it takes two things to start a car in the morning: the key, and a cigarette. The smoking habit is strong, but it is also dumb—any smoker can learn to outsmart it.
Addiction
Nicotine helps you relax, can improve concentration and memory, and produces pleasurable feelings. It also has serious health consequences. QuitSmart teaches a system that allows a smoker to reduce his or her reliance on nicotine gradually over a couple of weeks, then to quit smoking entirely.
