Smoking Cessation Evaluations

Smoking Cessation Programs

Quitting smoking, just like losing weight, is one of the daily frustrations for people who are addicted and are looking for a way to get the will power to do it. Over 45 million of Americans smoke and at any given time, 32 million are actively trying to quit. The fact that smoking kills almost 440,000 people each year would seem to be a strong motivator, but if you’ve ever smoked, you know it’s easier said than done.

Recently, there has been an influx of new smoking cessation programs that attack the addiction to nicotine from a completely different angle. While the traditional nicotine replacement products still sell millions of dollars worth of product, these new smoking cessation programs don’t include nicotine and act on a more biological level.

Here are some smoking cessation evaluations to help you make up your mind about which program may work best for you.

• Zyban---Many smokers have been prescribed Zyban by their doctor to help battle their smoking addiction. Zyban is an antidepressant and is just another name for the drug Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin is marketed to depression sufferers and Zyban is marketed to smokers but they are the same drug. Zyban increases the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. This chemical increase will give the smoker a sense of well being and usually eases the craving of nicotine. While many people have had success with Zyban, just as many have not. Half the battle with Zyban is that you really have to be in the frame of mind to want to quit. Side effects of Zyban include insomnia and dry mouth.
• Chantix---A new, non-nicotine containing smoking cessation drug from Pfizer. Chantix works differently from Zyban by directly targeting the areas of the brain that are affected by nicotine. The drug has the ability to give the smoker the results of smoking without the harmful effects of actually smoking, making it easier to give up cigarettes. In clinical studies, 44% of the people given Chantix were able to quit smoking after 4 weeks compared to only 17% who were given a placebo. It’s a 24 week treatment program and the side effects include abnormal dreams and nausea. Chantix is often prescribed if Zyban has proven ineffective.
• Nicotine Patches and Gum---Nicotine patches and gum have been around for quite a while and studies have proven that using the patch gives smokers twice a better chance of quitting than those using a placebo patch. One thing that has not been published is the percentage of people who continue their abstinence once off the patch. Using the gum is easy because when the urge hits, you can simply pop in a piece of gum to help you resist the craving. Recent studies have found that using the patch and the gum together can help the smoker quit more effectively than using one product alone.

While these smoking cessation programs certainly have their share of success stories, the fact remains the same---quitting smoking is very difficult without active help. Even on these programs the urge can sometimes win out.

That’s where Sugarest comes in.

Sugarest – The Newest Smoking Cessation Program

Sugarest is a sugar-free, all natural herbal product that dissolves on the tongue and blocks the sweet sensors located there. As you inhale smoke from the cigarette, your sweet sensors are neutralized and you can only taste the bitter flavor of the tobacco, not the sweet additives in the cigarette. The result is a terrible tasting experience which will cause you to extinguish the cigarette almost immediately.

Does Sugarest work?

Absolutely! Recent coverage of Sugarest on ABC’s Good Morning America and Fox News have proven the effectiveness of this sugar blocker. While it is great for controlling the cravings for sweets, it has been found to work just as effectively in helping smokers to quit their addiction. Used on its own, or in conjunction with another smoking cessation program, it undeniably has a beneficial result.

Sugar makes up to 3% of the total weight of a cigarette. When the sugar is burned and inhaled, it was found that it actually increased the absorption of nicotine in the brain. Once the cigarette manufacturers discovered that information, the sugar amount in cigarettes was raised dramatically. Making the cigarettes tastier was one way to ensure people would smoke them and thus become addicted. With Sugarest removing the actual sweet taste of the cigarette, all you’re left with is the bitter taste of the tobacco and other fillers.

If you’ve been struggling with your cigarette addiction, or if you find your smoking cessation program isn’t as effective as you hoped, then you may need some additional help in kicking the habit. Likewise, if you want to quit smoking but you don’t want to use a smoking cessation product that contains nicotine, then Sugarest may just be the thing you need. Sugarest is all-natural and has no side effects. It’s time to kick the habit and get healthy. Order Sugarest today and get help in your quest to stop smoking.
