[Smoking cessation with alternative methods].
Almost every former smoker has ceased smoking by himself. Everybody has collected his own experience with it and tried different methods to avoid withdrawal symptoms and the urge to start smoking again. During the last decades, many different methods for the therapy of smoking cessation have been applied. These techniques were often developed with the help of individual experiences. Many times, there is a lack of a scientific ground and verifiable investigations for these activities. The most important parameter for the smoking cessation is the clear and strong intention to quit. This intention may be supported by different methods. The mental requirements are discussed and the numerous methods and drugs available to quit smoking are described.
