The most frequently-used method to quit smoking is 'cold turkey', i.e. unaided, but this has a greater failure rate than perhaps all others. It is very difficult to attribute a precise figure towards popular quit methods such as [[NRT]], [[Varenicline]] (various trade names), Allen Carr, hypnotherapy, [[snus]] etc., as the usual medical standard of proof, the [[wikipedia:Randomized controlled trial| Randomised Controlled Trial]], doesn't really cover certain options such as [[e-cigarettes]] adequately (as choices of all various combinations of flavour choice, nicotine strength, and device type are impossible to include). However, [https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1808779 a recent RCT] demonstrated that e-cigarettes were twice as effective as NRT for smoking cessation (probably an underestimate of real world results). | The most frequently-used method to quit smoking is 'cold turkey', i.e. unaided, but this has a greater failure rate than perhaps all others.

Like who knew the [[Pez dispenser]] was a quit smoking aid? | ||
