 In spite of those products, you are likely to return to square one, or even worse, you may end up smoking more than you did at the time when you planned to abandon the cigarettes. If you have tried giving up, you will also have found that NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy) products do replace the nicotine in smoking, but they do not replace the smoking habit.
In some cases, people remain smokers for years after giving up, simply because they still miss their cigarettes. They maintain some nostalgic notion about smoking and they are almost every day tempted to light up again. Most of them do revert back to smoking at some stage.
