Kick the Nicotine Habit Naturally
Would you give an alcoholic more drinks to get him to quit? Would you give a dieter more cake and candy to help him lose weight? Would you give a drug addict more of his favorite drug if you were trying to get him to quit?

Of course not! So why would anyone want to put MORE nicotine in their bodies when it's nicotine they're trying to lose their addiction to?

It all comes down to the fact that to quit smoking you eventually have to get off the nicotine. And withdrawal from nicotine is VERY unpleasant. It's the single thing that causes even the most committed "quitters" to go back.

Consider the 1990 Surgeon General's Report findings:

When it comes right down to it, aren't you tired of being a slave to cigarettes?

After 1 year off cigarettes, the excess risk of heart disease and sudden death caused by smoking is reduced by half. After 15 years of abstinence, the risk of heart disease is similar to that of people who've never smoked.

In 5 to 15 years, the risk of stroke for ex-smokers returns to the level of those who've never smoked.

Male smokers who quit between ages 35 to 39 can add up to 15 years to their life. Female quitters in this age group can add up to 12 years. Men and women who quit at ages 65 to 69 increase their life expectancy by up to 3 years.
