And they're absolutely right!
In order to be able to quit and stay quitted you have to want to quit. It doesn't matter how many and what sort of crutches you use to quite, if you don't have the will to do so, you will fail and end up smoking again.
Of course there are many different method of quitting. But really the best way to encourage someone to quit is to send them off to somewhere cold. Most people tend not to smoke in their houses anymore, so the habit of not smoking inside should be there already. If the people do smoke inside, the smoking outside rule will have to be enforced ... but this shouldn't be a problem since it will making quitting seem like the more desirable option.
But think about it; there could totally be a quitting camp somewhere in the cold wilderness where people can go for the first few steps of quitting. I can't believe no one has thought of this sooner, actually.
If it's cold enough outside, a person will hold off smoking for as long as possible. The nicotine cravings may be bad, but being cold while smoking is worse. So if a person is holding off for longer periods of time between smoking, then that person will be smoking less during the day until gradually they have quit.
Unlike those warm nights where temperature is no problem for the smoker ... and is probably more comfortable outside than inside.
It's the perfect way to quit.
As well as fat camps, there should totally be quitting camps as well!
But of course, the desire to quit has to be there for this method to work. Otherwise the person will pick up smoking again as soon as he/she is back in warmer, more comfortable climes again.
And to make these quitting camps feasible, the people, or clients if you will, can get similar jobs to their normal jobs at home or just do work around the camp and earn money that way.
It has got to be cheaper, even if it is slower, than using those nicotine patches and whatever other nicotine products are out there.
