Dr. Hilary Tindle, Physician-Scientist, Vanderbilt Center for Tobacco, Addictions and Lifestyle
"Going cold turkey — without help — is harder, and lowers your long-term odds of quitting."
Prof. Neal Benowitz, University of California San Francisco
"Gradual reduction allows nicotinic acetylcholine receptor density to decrease slowly, greatly reducing withdrawal symptoms."
Dr. Neal Benowitz & Dr. Jack Henningfield, New England Journal of Medicine
"Addicted smokers would find it easier to quit when nicotine is gradually reduced over time."
