‘Sick of Smoking’ includes three popular methods to help you quit smoking:
- Scheduled reduction or tapering: creates a series of cigarette ‘appointments’ for each day. The time between these appointments is gradually lengthened until you stop smoking completely. The idea is that the fewer cigarettes you smoke, the less your nicotine addiction and the easier it is to quit.
- Cold turkey: provides tips to help maximise your chances of quitting.
- Hypnosis: features two hypnotic sessions with or without soothing background sounds.
Quitting smoking is difficult but staying smoke free for good is the real challenge. Smokers are most likely to relapse in the first few days because this is when nicotine withdrawal effects are at their strongest. ‘Sick of Smoking’ helps you cope with these effects by identifying their symptoms and offering practical solutions for managing them.
Even after the withdrawal effects have abated many people relapse, particularly within the first two years of quitting. ‘Sick of Smoking’ includes the following motivational tools to help you remain smoke free:

- Myths about smoking: addresses some of the most common misconceptions about smoking.
