Stop Smoking Product/Service Comparison Facts

I love facts because there is no right or wrong in them. They completely remove the human element of opinion, which is often used to guide people towards a certain direction. Whether you chose to accept them or ignore them by looking the other way, facts they are what they are…the way something really is.

To some degree, with the exception of hypnosis, all of the items listed above rely on willpower, meaning that at some point during use of the item, you must actively make the effort to stop smoking. Now, assuming that willpower has failed for you in the past, otherwise you would not even have the need for stop smoking aids, you will need to accept that since these items do not affect your willpower, you are in essence doing just like before and quitting on you own. Therefore, if quitting on your own failed for you in the past, then you should plan on using whichever aid you choose, for the rest of your life.

How much would that cost?
Lifetime supply based on the following scenario
A 30 year old person wants to quit smoking and lives to be 85 years old = 55 years of product usage.

Electronic Cigarettes - $9,867.00
Nicotine Gum - $148,720.00

In closing, we are not sharing this information to discourage anyone. We are simply pointing out the facts. The manufacturing and selling of temporary stop smoking items is a booming business. And from the amounts of money listed above, you can clearly see why. Haven’t you had enough of falling victim to a product that requires regular purchases in order to gain any benefit from it? It sort of sounds a lot like what cigarette companies themselves are doing!
