Hands down, the very best smoking cessation aid on the planet is your own will and determination to stop smoking. If you aren't motivated and committed to kicking the habit, there isn't a quit aid available that can help you. If you are, any of them have the potential to work beautifully.
That said, a variety of products designed to help people quit smoking gradually are on the market today. Choosing one that is right for you is essentially a matter of preference, barring any medical concerns you may have. It's always a good idea to check with your doctor about quit smoking options and discuss what might work best for you before making a decision.

good advice – its certainly true that without enough motivation to quit, no aid or technique will be able to do it for you
I used hypnosis to quit smoking almost 1 year ago. It did not require willpower, determination, or commitment. Also NO NICOTINE WITHDRAWALS at all! I just didnt want cigs anymore.
In one session I felt relaxed and calm and that just carried on since then. LIFE COULD NOT BE BETTER!
Best $150 bucks spent (saved over $3000 in cost of cigs)
The hypnotist offered a 1 year guarantee so that is what reminded me to post this to help out fellow smokers
I wish I had know about hypnosis for smoking 20 years ago!
