It seems that in just about every department or large chain store and pharmacy there is advertising pinned up for stop smoking aids. There are literally hundreds of brand names all stacked together in aisles across the world giving the 'soon to be ex-smoker' a multitude of choices.

But with so many 'guaranteed' options available, how does one choose the best stop smoking aid? Well, invariably, you do what most people do and choose to remain a smoker.

One could argue that all you need to do is pick one type of aid, try it and if it doesn't work then move on to the next one. I guess if it was that easy and feasible to do so more people would stop.

You see there isn't exactly the perfect stop smoking aid. They all have their pros and cons depending on what you require to help you kick the habit. Following is a little bit of information on the most popular and effective to help get you started.

1. Nicotine Stop Smoking Gum

Nicotine chewing gum has been a popular choice for those trying to quit. Of course now there are people who have become addicted to nicotine gum so it's important that you check out the potential side effects. Nicotine is said to be the main cause of addiction for smokers so this aid would be for those wanting to wean themselves off cigarettes slowly.

2. Quit Smoking Lozenges

The nicotine lozenge is much the same as the nicotine stop smoking gum and is also available in the two strengths, either 2mg or 4mg. They are available in a variety of flavors and in the same way you would suck on a lozenge to relieve a sore throat you would suck on the nicotine lozenge to release nicotine into your bloodstream.

3. The Nicotine Patch

The nicotine patch is placed on your skin and comes in 21 mg, 14mg or 7 mg. Most patches are worn for 16 or 24 hours and are replaced with a new one on a different area of skin. Nicotine is absorbed through the skin while the patch is on and your dosage will depend on how many cigarettes you smoke a day.

For those people who have a nicotine addiction to smokeless tobacco, all of these stop smoking aids will also work. Many people who use smokeless tobacco find that the nicotine gum works the best. The gum can be chewed and then be put in between the cheek and gum for the feel of the tobacco.

Remember that the point of quit smoking aids is to quit smoking. If one aid doesn't work for you don't give up and go back to smoking and don't use it as an excuse. Just try another quit aid. Your life depends on it.
