What You Should Do: Smoking is a difficult habit to break. In fact, only 5 to 10% of individuals successfully quit on their own, without any kind of aid or reinforcement. But several options can significantly increase your chances of quitting; these include nicotine replacement therapy, medication, and counseling. Combining all three can increase your likelihood of quitting to about 35%. The benefits of quitting are clear, and the latest research indicates that it’s never too late to try, even if you’ve been hospitalized for a heart attack, unstable angina, or heart failure. |
