Most smokers eventually make the decision to quit smoking. There are numerous methods that can be used to quit smoking, such as using nicotine patches, acupuncture, or hypnosis. However, the implementation of the decision is usually not that easy, since enjoyment is an integral part of life and smokers even perceive it as a quality of life.
