Supported cessation programmes, such as Nicotine Anonymous, are an excellent choice for people who want to quit smoking and need a good support system behind them. There are numerous benefits to these schemes.
Most of these programmes are free or very inexpensive. This enables you to go to some of the meetings to see if you like the other participants. You also get to see if you think the programme will work for you.
Because these schemes do not require registration, you can go to as many or as few of them as you think you need. For instance, if you have to work and cannot make a meeting, you can either just skip that meeting or try to find a meeting at a different time or place.
These support schemes use tried and true methods to help you quit smoking. Many offer handouts and other things to help you learn about the coping methods that will help you stop smoking.
Most support groups offer special incentives to help the participants stay on track. Many of these programmes have a level system in place. The longer you stay smoke free, the higher your level. In some cases, activities are restricted to participants who have obtained a certain level.
The main benefit of these programmes is that they offer 24-hour support from other people who are going through the same thing that you are going through, or people who have made it past that point. Some medical based programmes only offer support during regular business hours.
