I know exactly why you are reading this article. It's because of the title. It's because just like I did, you are looking for the All New Recently Improved Super-Duper Stop Smoking Miracle Cure that 99% of smoking cessation products promise.

Almost 99% of smoking cessation products claim that they have hit upon the All New Recently Improved Super-Duper Stop Smoking Miracle Cure that will help you quit smoking without any effort on your part. The truth is that such a drug doesn't exist yet. You still have to put some effort of your own if you really want to quit smoking.

Regarding the 'magic pills', look at some interesting statistics:

* Quitting cold turkey is successful for approximately 3% of people (keep in mind that those 3% may not have quit on their first attempt).

* Most off the shelf pharmaceuticals claim efficacy of doubling your chances (6%) to increasing them fivefold (15%) at best.

* Other newly released products claim nearly twenty times the effectiveness of cold turkey. However, this rate of success was achieved by giving huge incentives. There was a fully supportive group and a team of team of doctors and counselors watching over them and testing each phase, and to top it all, they were paid for their efforts as well. Any one would quit smoking if someone else is willing to spend thousands of dollars and dozens of hours to help them do it! But, this is not the ground reality. How many people would be fortunate to get into this select group? In the ultimate analysis, this improved wonder drug will ultimately fall into the same percentages as every other pharmaceutical offering.

So we have 6%-15% success rate. Not the magic 100% everybody, including the pharmaceutical companies, want. Now don't get me wrong, smoking cessation aids help - sometimes. But they help infinitely more if you place your faith in yourself and your ability to achieve your stop smoking goal as opposed to placing all your bets on a pill or a patch.

I'm not talking about willpower here either. I'm talking about education and information. I'm talking about finding out what the real truths are about your smoking habit and what it really takes to rid yourself of it. But that is much too in-depth of a subject to cover in even a series of articles. That's why fully encompassing information programs have been developed - to help you meet this goal.

I encourage you to seek out all the information you can find about smoking, nicotine, quitting and the benefits of quitting. You've spent years or decades developing your smoking habit, so now spend a few days or weeks even, finding the information that will help you quit without relying on a 'magic pill' to do it for you.

The more you know, the more successful you will be. And, this is true in all aspects of life.

To your very best in future,
