A lot of people who give up smoking face the health dangers assoicated with weight gain. But those dangers are no where near as bad as the ones smokers face. AND they are not endangering the lives of the people around them from 2nd hand smoke. Your health will be better over the short and long term by NOT smoking Approximately 15-30% of smokers are able to quit smoking with each attempt at smoking cessation, depending on whether nicotine patches are used, or if Chantix or Zyban are added. This is why smokers are encouraged to have realistic expectations, and to make repeated attempts to stop smoking during their lifetime.

It depends how much will-power they have. My mother was a30-a-day smoker - she quit after having oneone-hour session with a hypnotist. That was over 20 years ago and she's never smoked since !

Statistically, about 10% of smoking attempts are successful with most smokers who have successfuly quit trying 5-8 times (dpeending on the study) before "iot finally stuck".

Nicotine replacement increases the likelihood of success to about 25% per attempt and using Wellbutrin (budeprion - a prescription drug) increases it by about the same amount. They can be used together for additive effects and a quit rate of about 50% per attempt.

Chantix increases the success rate to about 80-90% per attempt.
