I'll never give up giving up

Article Abstract:

World No Tobacco Day is Sunday May 31 1992. Smokers in the nineteen-nineties find themselves increasingly isolated. Many methods of stopping are available including hypnosis, acupuncture, nicotine patches placed on the skin, nicotine gum and nicotine drops under the tongue. The National Health Association is an anti-smoking health promotion body which provides treatment. Books have been published to guide would-be quitters. Research at the National Addiction Centre, Maudsley Hospital, south London, shows that a trial combining nicotine patches with counselling is 70% successful.

Nothing's a patch on will power

Article Abstract:

The use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) such as nasal sprays does increase your chance of giving up smoking, but this approach still has a low success rate. Research indicates that people using NRT to give up smoking have a 5% to 10% chance of success, while those using willpower alone have a 1% to 3% chance of success. The NRT market in the UK is now worth 32.4 million pounds sterling a year, and smokers are prepared to invest considerable sums of money in NRT products.

It leaves me grinding my teeth

Article Abstract:

Few dental practices still offer treatment under the National Health Service, so dental treatment is expensive in the 1990's. Bridge repair work can cost 700 pounds sterling. Hospital NHS dental treatment is available, but only after a long wait. Hospital dental schools have inefficient appointment systems and poor communication: student dentists leave before appointments have been fixed. The customers' charter seems to be creating a worse service.
