Q. |
What is Quit Smart? |
|
A. |
 Quit Smart is available
in a self-help stop smoking kit and, in many communities, as a three-session
quit smoking class that utilizes the
kit plus personalized coaching. Quit Smart combines several powerful
treatment elements — including hypnosis, medication recommendations
and a patented simulated cigarette — to produce a potent
stop-smoking treatment. The program was developed by Dr. Robert
Shipley, director of the Duke Medical Center Stop Smoking Clinic. |
|
Q. |
There are so many programs out there
to help people stop smoking. What makes Quit Smart different? |
|
A. |
Quit Smart is more up-to-date. Dr. Shipley
has incorporated new research findings into the new revision
of the Quit Smart Kit. For example, research at Duke University
has found a simple new way to use Nicotine Patches that multiplies
your chance of success 4 times! He also shares the best ways
to use other medications and a nicotine weaning method for those
who don't want to use medicine. The previous edition of the Quit
Smart Kit was very good -- this ones better. |

|
Q. |
What is the QuitSmart Cigarette Substitute? |
|
A. |
This patented device looks and feels like
a real cigarette. You can adjust the air flow to match the draw
of your favorite cigarette. A carrying tube keeps the device
clean and handy. The substitute gives you something to do with
hands and mouth, stimulates relaxing breaths, and provides some
of the satisfaction of smoking. You find holding and puffing
on a cigarette pleasurable because it has been associated with
thousands of pleasurable "hits" of nicotine to your
brain. Since the simulated cigarette has no nicotine, its use
gradually lessens the pleasure associated with the look and feel
of a cigarette. It helps you to simply quit. |
