Better Quit®: "A Smoker's Friend"

Research indicates that most people cannot stop smoking permanently without some physical and/or psychological assistance.  Many people want and need something tangible to help them through the transition period when it is so difficult to break the habits associated with smoking.  Better Quit® provides much needed support, giving the smoker a chance to withdraw from nicotine before breaking behavioral habits, such as handling a cigarette, placing it in the mouth, and inhaling.  For many people, these habits are so hard to break that they return to smoking even after they are free of their physical addiction to nicotine.

The key element of Better Quit® is the natural lift that people experience when they take in the deep relaxing draw of fresh air that is inhaled through the device.  The exaggerated inhale is satisfying and provides immediate relief from tension.  Many health organizations, including the National Cancer Institute, the American Lung Association, and the American Heart Association have long recognized the benefits of deep breathing and oral substitutes in attempts to stop smoking.  Better Quit® offers both of these important features along with high quality, low cost, ease of access, and safety.

Research done and presented by Dr. Eric Westman, Medical Director for the Nicotine Research Lab at Durham VA Hospital, Dr. Jed Rose, nicotine patch inventor, and Dr. Robert Shipley, Director of Duke Medical Center's Stop Smoking Program showed that deep breathing reduces the urge to smoke.

The unique adjustable air intake of Better Quit® allows people to vary airflow amounts according to individual preferences.  It can be activated by simply sliding the filter in or out.  Better Quit® is made from all FDA approved materials.  It looks and feels like a real cigarette.  The filter provides a somewhat soft, comfortable biting surface.

Air flows through the adjustable side draft filter-regulator rather than through the white base of the device.  This is an innovative safety feature that assures no toxic substances or flames can flow through the base if unintentionally lit.  This feature gives Better Quit® the ultimate design for safety.

Better Quit® comes in an attractive, pocket-clip carrying tube, which is used to keep it clean, handy, and reusable.

Through the years, Health Solutions, Inc. marketed Better Quit® through a variety of avenues that included Dr. Shipley's QuitSmart® Kit, Roswell Park Cancer Institute's Smoking Control Program, and the New York State Quit Program to name a few.  

Dr. Robert Shipley, Director of the Duke Stop Smoking Program, has included one Better Quit® in his QuitSmart® Kit for over twelve years.  He markets the kit to hospitals, clinics and corporations.  Dr. K. Michael Cummings, PH.D., MPH, Director of the Smoking Control Program at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York has offered Better Quit® in his smoking control clinics along with the nicotine patch.  He stated that 90% of the smokers have been helped by Better Quit®.

Health concerns and new restrictions are creating a growth market for Better Quit®.  We believe Better Quit® gives smokers a realistic, tangible cigarette substitute to keep them from reaching for a cigarette when they are trying not to smoke.  As Dr. Shipley indicates, Better Quit® fills an important need for a period of time.  Then, the need for Better Quit® gradually and naturally extinguishes over time.  Thus, Better Quit® helps prevent relapses to the smoking habit.
