In all this time I have never treated anyone for stopping smoking whilst they were using nicotine patches or gum. As smoking is mostly a psychological addiction then NRT ensures that the prop is still there. A smoker needs to quit completely in order to be free, rather than relying on their gum. patches, inhaler or whatever.

Simple as! I wouldn’t be surprised if Pfizer had paid for the reserach to be done! If you want to stop get multi session (4x1hour minimum) hypnotherapy from someone who knows what they’re doing and its easy to stop! No need for NRT!

My hunch, and it’s only a hunch, it’s Big Pharma. They like to repackage medications so they can extend the life of the drug and make more money. Pairing the nicotine patch with another modality to boost effectiveness keeps the money rolling in. That may be why the study groups both used the patch vs/ having two control groups, one that only used counseling and the other only hypnosis.

In my practice clients keep having wonderful results without the use of the patch, gum, and Chantix.

The New Scientist documented research from 1992 is something I’d like to see people build upon rather than publishing the sort of stuff I have mentioned today.

And why do we even need this lame bit of research when we already have some much better evidence from 1992:

Don’t they have anything better to spend their research funding on?
