A member asked:
Should i use the nicotine patch to quit smoking? or should i try electronic cigarettes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both may help with: the physical side of the addiction, but what causes relapse is failure to deal with the behavioral side. The associations to cigarettes and nicotine is generally what really re-addicts quitters, so the best approach is really to modify all the associations of behaviors with smoking. This takes a LOT longer than merely withdrawing from nicotine.
