Sydney, Australia, February 10 -- Will power and self-regulation works better than smoking cessation therapies, and nicotine-replacement products, to quit smoking, reveals a novel study.
The study conducted at School of Public Health, University of Sydney, found that techniques like ‘cold turkey’-- giving up at once, or dropping the number of cigarettes slowly to a complete halt on consumption have proved to be beneficial than any assistance from nicotine-replacement therapies, or the general practitioner.
Lead researchers Dr. Simon Chapman and Dr. Ross MacKenzie said, “Governments are also guilty of ‘medicalisation of smoking cessation’ and making giving up sound harder than it actually is.”
