Methods for Quitting Smoking


Lisa: This is it. I’m quitting smoking for good. 


Michael: Good for you. Are you going cold turkey? 


Lisa: No, I tried that, but it didn’t work. I craved 1 cigarettes too much. 


Michael: How about nicotine 2 gum? Have you tried that? 


Lisa: Yes, but I didn’t like the side effects. It irritated my throat. 


Michael: That’s too bad. I suppose you’ve tried nicotine patches, too? 


Lisa: Yes, I have. I became addicted 3 to the patches and couldn’t wean myself off of them. I just traded one addiction 4 for another. 


Michael: And electronic cigarettes? 


Lisa: They only made me want to smoke a real cigarette. They were no help at all. 


Michael: So, what now? 


Lisa: I’m going to try hypnosis. I hear that it works for some people. 


Michael: And if that doesn’t work? 


Lisa: The last resort is acupuncture 5. Some people say that’s effective for quitting smoking. 


Michael: If you say so. Sometimes the cure is truly worse than the disease!
