Questions about our plans, products and services

Do I need to get a prescription for your plans/products?
No. Unlike many nicotine replacement products, our effective plans don't use any drugs and don't require a prescription. However, we highly recommend that you consult your physician or a healthcare specialist before you quit smoking. Keep in mind that no amount of information and/or products can replace the advise of a doctor or healthcare professional.  

Do your stop smoking plans work?
Yes. The plans work and are carefully designed to help you quit smoking. Quitting is not easy, it takes hard work, determination and a commitment on your part. Weaning you off of nicotine is the first step of freeing yourself from the habit that reinforces your need to smoke.

Can I smoke if I wake up at night?
Not if it is before or after your usual time of DAY you used to smoke. The only time you should be smoking is when your Daily Recording says to. This period is between your first and last times you determined were your average times of day you first smoked and when you smoked your last cigarette. The times must never change. It is very important that you do not smoke before the set time of your first cigarette or after the set time of your last cigarette, even if you decide to get up earlier or stay up later.

(For example, if you now have your first cigarette at 7:00 a.m. and have your last cigarette at 11:00 p.m., your first cigarette time must always be at 7:00 a.m. and your last cigarette time must be before or at 11:00 p.m. It is very important not to smoke before 7:00 a.m. or past 11:00 p.m.)

What should I do if I miss one of my scheduled cigarettes?
If you miss a cigarette at any given cigarette time, you must wait until your next cigarette time to smoke your next one. The two main purposes of this technique is to break your psychological association with smoking – breaking your habit - while gradually weaning you off of nicotine to reduce your carving -- physical addiction.

Do I need a support system?
Yes. Many smokers have expressed the need for a support system to help them with their quitting. That is why we recommend a support system that begins with friends and family and advice from smoking cessation professionals to help you with any questions along the way. Our 6-week daily email support is an easy and effective way to receive support.

Do your plans eliminate my cravings for cigarettes?
Our plans include the necessary steps and programs to help you evaluate, prepare to quit, quit and stay smoke free. Keep in mind that there is no silver bullet out there that can cure your habit and addiction without total discomfort, but our effective plans will help to relieve your physical discomfort when trying to break your nicotine addiction. By slowly weaning you from the nicotine, you won't experience the withdrawal symptoms as severe as if you quit smoking cold turkey altogether.

How do I activate my Daily Email Support Program™?
If you are using one of our plans that includes our Daily Email Support Program™, you will be prompted to activate it once you have passed the R-U-Ready? Test™. This way, your Daily Email Support Program™ will correspond with your quit date and your use of the Proven Stop Smoking Technique™.

What should I expect while I quit smoking?
Contrary to common belief, quitting smoking is not easy and requires the mindset and acknowledgment of the process in order to be successful. Our plans walk you through the process. However, you will still need to prepare yourself for some nicotine withdrawal symptoms. You may experience any of the following: craving for nicotine, anxiety, irritability, restlessness, mood changes, nervousness, headaches. Our plans offer suggestions on how to cope with these symptoms. Many of our quitting plans include 6 weeks of daily email support that is designed to help you along with your quitting and these symptoms. However, since our plans slowly wean you from the nicotine, you won't experience the withdrawal symptoms as severe as if you quit smoking cold turkey altogether.

I have tried quitting smoking several times and always fail. Is my willpower just not strong enough?
Don't be so hard on yourself. The success rate for smokers who try to quit cold turkey is a dismal 5%. But the difference now is that we have a variety of effective stop smoking plans that increase your chances of success by weaning you off gradually and lessening those terrible withdrawal symptoms: irritability, trouble concentrating and hunger.
