- WhyQuit.Com (Motivation, Education and Support for Cold Turkey Nicotine Cessation)
- This site is dedicated to helping people quit smoking using the cold turkey method (quitting all at once) as opposed to NRT (nicotine replacement therapy). It provides motivation, education and support. WhyQuit.Com is the creation of an ex-smoker and the presentation is informal. In the attempt to motivate people to quit, some of the content is personal, graphic, and may be upsetting. It educates by explaining the physiology of smoking and the detrimental affects on the body. Support is provided through message boards, diaries and a membership based on level of achievement. Some articles are well documented, but in some, sources of information and statistics are not always shown. Included are several negative reviews of nicotine reduction studies. These are not scientific reviews and their accuracy has not been determined. There are, however, several links to credentialed doctors and health sites. There are loads of helpful tips and advice on quitting. For those wishing to quit smoking “cold turkey”, this site may provide the tools they need.
