The CDC reports that in 2015, more than 480,000 people died from smoking related diseases and almost 3 million people were injured.
That’s a lot of people, and a lot of people who are hurting.
How to Stop Smoking?
There are many ways to quit smoking and each person will likely have a different experience.
However, the most important thing is to find methods that work for you.
You don’t have to try all of the methods. You can focus on one method and keep it in your daily routine.
You should also set a quit date. If you quit on one day, you’ll be able to stick to it.
If you’re in a support group, ask if there are any other methods they recommend. They might have some other suggestions that work better for you.
Here are some suggestions to help you stop smoking.
1. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
NRT is the best way to quit smoking. It’s a long-term method, but it has some benefits.
NRT is a combination of nicotine replacement and bupropion (Wellbutrin). It’s also called nicotine patch or nicotine gum.

Nicotine gum is a popular choice of NRT and is the most well-known. It’s available in various flavors, including menthol and fruit flavors.
Nicotine lozenges are a type of NRT that you can take orally. They come in flavors like mint or menthol.
Nicotine patches are available in many different flavors, including mint and menthol.
You can also find nicotine inhalers and sprays in drug stores.
2. Vape or Use a Vape Pen
Vape pens and vaping are a popular way to stop smoking. They don’t just make you feel good, they actually lower your blood pressure.
Vaporizing (vaping) is a way to inhale nicotine. You can inhale nicotine from e-cigarette (e-cig) devices, pens, or a vaporizer.
You can also get nicotine in other ways, such as an over-the-counter nicotine patch or spray.
Vaporizing nicotine is a good way to quit smoking, but it’s not the same as smoking.
Vaporizers are available in a range of different flavors. Some are flavored, like mint or menthol. Others are not.
Some people prefer the flavor of nicotine in a vape, while others prefer the flavor of nicotine in an over-the-counter nicotine patch.
Vape pens are also available, but they’re not as popular as e-cigarettes.
3. Nicotine Substitution
Nicotine replacement therapy can be used as an alternative method to quit smoking.
You can also use nicotine replacement therapy as a substitute for cigarettes and other nicotine products.
You can use nicotine replacement therapy as a substitute to nicotine, or you can use it along with nicotine replacement therapy to make it even more effective.
However, it’s not recommended to substitute nicotine for nicotine replacement therapy to quit smoking.
There are some risks associated with using nicotine replacement therapy as a substitute for smoking.
4. Nicotine Replacement Therapy and Vaping
Nicotine replacement therapy and vaping are similar in that they both help you quit smoking.
However, vaping is a little more natural. It’s a way to get nicotine that’s much more similar to how you get it from the real thing.
You can also vape nicotine, but you can’t put nicotine in a vape.
Nicotine replacement therapy and vaping work similarly because both are nicotine replacement therapy.
However, there are some benefits that vape users have over nicotine replacement therapy users.
In general, vaping is a better choice when it comes to nicotine replacement.
Vaping offers many of the same benefits as nicotine replacement, but it’s not as much of a habit as it is with smoking.
