The most common method employed in smoking cessation is the unaided approach. This is when the smoker elects to quit smoking tobacco on his own accord without the help of medications and professionals. Cold turkey is an unassisted approach that involves the abrupt and complete cessation of nicotine use. Another form of unassisted approach is when the smoker gradually decreases the number of cigarettes. According to the Australian Journal of Public Health, the “estimated rate of stopping smoking without intervention, over an average 10-month period, was 7.33 percent” (Baillie, Mattick, & Hall, 1995). This means, smokers decreases the use of cigarette without any medication intervention by 7.33 % on an average of 10 months.
