Best Rated Quit Smoking Programs - What You Must Look For


If you need one of the best rated quit smoking programs then you need to know how to tell the good from the bad. Check out below my key set of criteria for choosing a quality program. Remember, I quit over 8 years ago so I’ll unashamedly tell you that I am probably in a better position than most to comment on what makes a good quit smoking program.

The Benefits

Of course, the only aim is to quit smoking, but it’s about how you get there that matters.

Take a look at the list of benefits offered by each quit smoking program. Is this what you are looking for? Do any of the benefits ring true with you? Do you feel that you can trust this person to guide you to becoming an ex-smoker?

Does It Solve Your Problems?

We know that smoking can be difficult. What has the author of the program done to address your biggest concerns, such as whether you will gain weight, how you will deal with the sense of loss, how to not fall victim to your willpower breaking etc.

Testimonials

Check out the testimonials. These are comments by people who have used the program before. No matter what the author has to say about the program, what is really important is what previous customers have had to say.

Of course, the author is not going to show comments from unhappy customers so this will be biased. However, you can still read a lot into comments from the most happy customers.

Book Or Audio?

The best quit smoking programs are in book form because this way you can internalize what you read. But if you have a big need for audio, something that you could play in the car, then there are some programs in audio only or in both book and adio form.

Guarantee?

Is there a money back guarantee? Never, ever choose a program that does not put the money where their mouth is. Never go with a program that won’t offer you your money back if you are not satisfied.

What Chemicals Are In Cigarettes?


What chemicals are in cigarettes? More accurately, we need to know what is in cigarettes to begin with and what chemicals are produced after burning tobacco i.e. in the smoke.

Additives In Cigarettes

There are 599 known chemicals in cigarettes. These are from a voluntary list provided by 5 tobacco companies.

On first glance, these substances appear to be quite harmless. They’re in two categories.

The first appear to contribute to flavour. I’m talking about honey, anise, apricot extract, bergamot oil, mandarin oil, parsley seed oil and other fruit or herb derived ingredients,

The second set appear to be a whole host of strange chemical compounds. Phenethyl Isobutyrate, 4-Ethylbenzaldehyde, Diethyl Sebacate, Butyl phenylacetate, Anisyl Phenylacetate etc. These sure don’t sound good, do they?

You can get a full list here: Wikipedia: List of additives in cigarettes

After Burning

This is when we can see the exact chemicals that you are exposed to. And guess what, most of them are harmful.

Benzene - a known carcinogen.

Formaldehyde - toxic.

Lead - a neurotoxin that accumulates in the body.

Arsenic - poisonous.

Cadmium - damages the kidneys, liver and the brain.

Now you know just a small fraction of the bad chemicals in cigarettes. Do you really need to know anymore to convince you to quit smoking?
