If you are looking for a ‘crutch’ to lean on while you go through the motions of quitting you are in luck. Stop smoking aids are available by the aisle full. You can just abut walk into any major store or pharmacy and find the latest quit aid.

With so many different solutions and so many promises about how quickly you will get results, it’s small wonder that people have difficulty choosing just one. So which quit smoking aid do you choose? Which are the best ones?

From the abundance of nicotine gum, lozenges and patches available to aid those who want to stop smoking, it’s a wonder anyone has trouble quitting at all.

No stop smoking aid is going to be a 100% effective. There is no magic formula here. You do however have to get started somewhere and if you need some help to quit then perhaps starting with the top three most popular aids would be best.

1. Nicotine Chewing Gum

Nicotine gum is a chewing gum that delivers nicotine into the bloodstream with the intention of aiding in gradual smoking cessation. Each piece of gum typically contains 2 or 4 mg of nicotine, roughly equivalent to 1 or 2 cigarettes. Your dosage would depend on your smoking habits.

2. Quit Smoking Lozenges

Instead of chewing, the lozenges are meant to be sucked on like a lifesaver candy and will be a real lifesaver. Some people prefer the lozenges over the gum because chewing in a meeting or when speaking to a crowd is bad manners. They can go on with their day without worrying about others. The lozenges also come in different brands and different flavors.

3. The Quit Smoking Patch

Having the patch can produce results and can be used day to day without realizing that nicotine cravings are slowly being drawn from the body. For some people, a busy day gives them no time to stop and look for gum or lozenges and may produce extra concern when dealing with people all day.

For those people who have a nicotine addiction to smokeless tobacco, all of these stop smoking aids will also work. Many people who use smokeless tobacco find that the nicotine gum works the best. The gum can be chewed and then be put in between the cheek and gum for the feel of the tobacco.

Don’t feel despondent if one aid does not work. Whichever aid you choose, if it doesn’t help then it is okay to try another method. Many smokers trying to quit use numerous aids that work best in certain situations.
