Very often we find very little success in our attempts to kick our bad habits. Quitting smoking is one good example. Without an effective trigger, the chances that a regular smoker can succeed in quitting smoking are very remote. Most of us understand the harmful effects of smoking but are still tempted to light up that next cigarette.



The first step towards getting rid of any bad habit is to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically. Through determination and endurance, some people will succeed, and sadly many will fail. If you find yourself in this situation, it may be a good idea to use smoking cessation medications.



Studies have shown that an increasing number of smokers are turning to drugs and medicines to help them stop smoking. As a result of the increased demand, many types of medicines and drugs have been developed for different form of treatments. A lot of money is spent on R&D to develop the most effective drugs, and a lot of work has been done in the field of addictions and behavior modification to find the cure. Indeed, modern medicine has helped many men and women quit smoking for good.



Cigarettes contain tobacco, nicotine and some very harmful chemicals like ammonia, cyanide, benzene, butane, lead, DDT etc. Although these chemicals are very harmful, nicotine is still the root cause of smoking addiction.



A person who smokes craves for nicotine, the nicotine receptor cells in the brain become accustomed to excess dosage of nicotine. This is what makes an addict repeat the intake of cigarette. Though at the time it feels stimulating or relaxing it actually causes many respiratory disorders and other damages to the body. Modern medicine copes with this craving for nicotine, controls it and reduces it to a minimum.



Generally there are two kinds of medicines available in the market, the Nicotine Replacement products and Non-Nicotine medicines. A Nicotine Replacement product assists by providing nicotine to our body without other chemicals and tobacco. It helps by reducing the craving for cigarettes, thus providing the opportunity of completely getting rid of the bad habit. The Non-Nicotine medicines are usually anti-depressant drugs that have therapeutic effect and assist in your effort to quit smoking.



The effect of medicines may vary from person to person depending on the number of cigarettes you smoke everyday. With the help of these modern medicine, there is no reason why you cannot quit smoking for good.
