Myth: The best way to quit is “cold turkey.”
Fact: There is no one correct way to quit smoking, but you can use a combination of counselling and nicotine replacement therapy (such as the nicotine patch, inhaler, gum, or nasal spray) or non-nicotine medicines (such as bupropion SR). Your health care provider or smoking cessation clinic is the best place to go to for help with quitting.
