Compare The Difference!!
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
and other Methods to Stop Smoking.
Nicotine replacement therapy involves nicotine being absorbed into your bloodstream from an external source such as patches, gum, inhalers etc in fact any source other than cigarettes. This is designed to quell the cravings of nicotine during your quit process. All the forms of NRT have a success rate of only 10%-20%, depending on the scientific study. This means that 80-90% of the time people fail. Not only does NRT fail most of the time, it also has dangerous side effects. Such as: nausea and indigestion, itching and redness of the skin if using patches, and nightmares – occasionally the side effects can be more serious. So there is very little chance of it working, and a very big chance of physical harm. Hypnosis is completely safe, drug and chemical free and WORKS…which is why we offer our commitment to help you quit for life.
