one size really doesn't fit all. My husband quit cold turkey and went back after a couple of years. My father did, too. And when he went back to smoking - he couldn't even say why - he never stopped. My son has stopped and started numerous times. For some people, an alternative to smoking is a godsend. I loved smoking. Now I could not smoke a whole cigarette. Last time I tried, I lasted for a few drags and then couldn't get the awful taste out of my mouth for hours. And while there's not enough research to make health claims about them, former smokers who switch to them mostly report the same things - bettter breathing, no cough. The blood pressure thing was big for me. They do appear to be serious harm reduction.
