    Sadly, the media continues to pick pharma over truth when giving quitting advice.  Not only is cold turkey 1.5 to 2 times more effective than the OTC nicotine patch, gum or lozenge (see Doran 2006, Pierce 2012 and Kotz 2014), a July 2013 Gallup Poll found that cold turkey accounts for more successful ex-smokers than all other quitting methods combined. Talk about nearly impossible, the Poll found that after 30 years of marketing, that nicotine gum accounts for only 1 in 100 ex-smokers.  If wishing to arrest your chemical dependence instead of toying with transferring your addiction to cleaner captivity explore WhyQuit, Turkeyville, Joel's Library and/or Freedom.  Master the keys to successful abrupt nicotine cessation. Just one lesson at a time, yes you can!
