From the thread Who Should You Believe?
 
 
Not sure how much news coverage it will receive but the U.S. Public Health Service has released an updated clinical practice guideline which, to none of our surprise, pushes the use of pharmacological interventions to "help" people quit smoking. I thought it would be a good idea to pop up this string and attach the following articles to give a little background of the public health community's views on the topic of smoking cessation:
 

Pharmacological Aids to Smoking Cessation

Pharmacological Aids Part II

40 Years of Progress?

Quitting Methods: Who Should You Believe?

So How Did Most Successful Ex-Smokers Actually Quit?

Most expert say "Don't quit cold turkey"

Hooked on the Cure

Is Cold Turkey the Only Way to Quit?
