Anyone have Stats on the stop smoking aids

great american smokeout has links to info like that but you probably really don't want those numbers. I think that is where I saw them. Most NRT's have between 7-9 percent success rate. Actually google Alan Carr's book he has a good list of success rates.

Hi Caligirl,

Thats a great question. Do you have a specific question regarding NRT's?

Hi Caligirl,

Congrats on 4 days ... that's a huge accomplishment :)

I did a quick search online and I found an article on webmd

Below is a quick summary ... huh I never knew there was a nasal spray ... gonna check that out

In the study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, researchers compared 69 clinical trials on smoking- cessation therapies involving nearly 33,000 people.

The results showed six therapies were more effective than placebo at helping smokers quit, including:

Chantix (2.4 times more effective than placebo)
Nicotine nasal spray (2.37)
Zyban (also known as Wellbutrin) (2.07)
Nicotine patch (2.07)
Nicotine tablet (2.06)
Nicotine gum (1.71)

Although the findings also favored the effectiveness of the nicotine inhaler over placebo, the results were not conclusive.

Hope this helps,

Sue

Was looking to see if anyone had any stats on stop smoking aids...such as the patch, gum, inhaler, pill...anything. I want to see what they are.
