Smoking is the cause behind almost all the major disease in the world including several cancers, heart disease, lung and kidney diseases, and tuberculosis among others. Worldwide smoking is responsible to many times more deaths than road and air accidents, murders, suicides and HIV infections put together. Smoking related diseases are responsible for one in every 10 adult deaths.
With increasing awareness about smoking and its ill effects, increasing number of people around the world are taking the right step to stop smoking. Health authorities everywhere have launched various campaigns to get as many people to quit smoking as possible. The efforts to get people to give up smoking and tobacco have also been taken up by a number of volunteer organizations and special programmes are being introduced to help those who wish to get rid of this habit.
In addition to regular physical programs, there are several resources that provide online guidance to quit smoking. Many resources provide an online step by step programme while others follow in the lines of “Alcoholic Anonymous” to set up “Smokers Anonymous” groups.
Several medications are also available for the treatment of smoking addiction. These include both over-the-counter and prescription medications. Some of the best known treatments include nicotine patches, nicotine chewing gums, nicotine lozenges, and nutritional and herbal medications among others. Among the prescription only medications, Zyban and Chantix are the best known drugs.
