Facts

Each cigarette you smoke contains over 4700 chemical additives to help keep you addicted 566 of those are known or allowed by your government. 17 are generally accepted as carcinogens. Cravings are at there worst during the first 7 days and as you get further away from the day you stopped the easier it becomes to control them.
The best way to reduce cravings is to quickly detox the body of nicotine. Alcoholics must never have a drink again and cigarettes are a much worse addiction, once you stop you must never have even a single puff or you are back on the road to smoking.
The BMA did a 4 year study and found the following in the first year:
Hypnosis stops 2 %
Cold Turkey 3%
The Gum stops 5%
The Patch stops 8%
Zyban ( wellbutrin ) 27%
Low Level Laser Therapy 85%
The only method that uses a detox program is low level lasers
