The next question in deciding on the right program to help you quit smoking is do you prefer a one on one counseling situation or are you comfortable in a group setting. Can you open up in a group of people that you do not know?

The heavier the smoker the more they need to help them quit. Those who smoke more than twenty cigarettes daily will do better in a program that not only has a good counseling situation but as well may be able to offer a little extra. This can be a nicotine replacement program or by using a medication that could help. Light smokers are usually able to do it on their own but some may use chat rooms or self help phone groups to give them a little extra support.

If you have stopped smoking previously and not been successful do not let that stop you from trying again. That in itself might make you decide to go with a more rigorous counseling program and try some of the nicotine replacements like the sprays, the gums or inhalers. All of these, when coupled with a good councilor, can make the difference between success and failure. Only you can succeed by being motivated enough to successfully give up your smoking habit.
