Survey Highlights Challenges and Solutions for Smokers Trying to Quit
Summary:
Quitting smoking is challenging, especially without the support of family, friends, and colleagues.Article Body:
Quitting smoking is tough, and it becomes even more difficult without the encouragement of loved ones. A recent survey of over 400 smokers highlights this struggle. It found that 72% feel significant pressure from family or friends to quit, and nearly half (49%) have faced judgment for unsuccessful attempts.The pressure and fear associated with quitting can negatively impact a smoker's efforts. The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, revealed that 44% of smokers prefer not to share their quitting plans due to fear of failure, and 46% have secretly tried to quit.
Despite these challenges, there are effective ways to boost quitting success rates. Dr. Matthew Carpenter, a smoking cessation expert from the Medical University of South Carolina, emphasizes the role of nicotine replacement therapies, like nicotine gums, which are proven to assist in quitting. However, he notes that the taste of the gum has been a barrier for many smokers.
The survey found that improving the taste of nicotine gum could enhance compliance. In 2005, Nicorette launched Fresh Mint gum to address this issue, and recently introduced Fruit Chill, featuring a fruity burst and cool mint finish. This sugar-free gum not only tastes better but also contains fast-acting medicine to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
According to Dr. Carpenter, addressing both nicotine cravings and the habitual aspect of smoking can increase the chances of successfully quitting. Nicotine replacement products help satisfy the physical need for nicotine, allowing smokers to focus on breaking the habit.
Motivation to quit is crucial. The survey revealed that almost 50% of smokers might be persuaded to quit if their doctor warned about health risks. Additionally, having the support of others makes quitting easier.
For smokers contemplating quitting, there is new hope. The Nicorette Fruit Chill Million, the largest quit-smoking challenge by the gum, aims to encourage a million smokers to commit to quitting. It provides resources, support, and tools to aid in successful attempts, along with the enticing chance to win $1 million.
This initiative offers a promising path for smokers and their loved ones, empowering them to overcome obstacles and seize new opportunities for a healthier life.
