Studies have been showing that there are other solutions for teen smokers.
They show that if the producer will stop advertising their smoking product, that will help to reduce the number of people that will have the idea of smoking. On April 21, 1992, in
Los Angeles, California, Novello discussed many of these issues and teen smokers was one of the biggest issues as part of an overall look at health concerns for the 1990s.

Nicotine replacement therapy is not for me. All the products gum, patches, lozenges and microbes are addictive, although they don't cause cancer.
Ex smoker friends are still chewing gum and taking the lozenges years after stopping. I decided to try Zyban which had worked for two friends. The drug affects the brain's chemistry in a way similar to nicotine and is supposed to reduce the craving
