As we discovered yesterday, even medical attention is turning to the idea that willpower works best:
Varenicline has been shown to modestly increase the chances of a successful quit attempt, compared to unassisted smoking cessation attempts. But overall, the majority of smokers who quit do so without any pharmaceutical assistance at all.

It was never meant to be effective. Like the gum and patches, it was only ever intended to generate profit.
If it worked, the profit would dry up.
The only ones I know who successfully stopped smoking were those who didn't like it any more.
They didn't need any drugs, and they didn't need willpower. They stopped doing it in the same way I stopped trainspotting. It just wasn't fun any more.
Nothing else can ever work.
It was intended to convince the public it was effective though. And perhaps even the medical profession.
