Some smokers can quit smoking very easy but others said that they just can’t kick the bad habit. According to previous studies, a lot of smokers quitted smoking just switching to smokeless products. But a new study in New Zealand found that smokers again started to use sachets of tobacco and nicotine into their mouths for to help them stop smoking. In this research scientists tried to discover the most effective quit-smoking products for to give a chance to smokers who desire to quit the smoking habit for a long time.

Just 10 percent of people who use nicotine therapy quitted smoking for a long period, scientists found recently.Scientists from Otago University at Wellington compared "snus" - oral tobacco sachets - and Zonnic oral nicotine product, available now as a nicotine gum. Both the tobacco pouches and nicotine gum are placed between the smokers’ cheek and both remit nicotine, the most addictive substance in tobacco. But the New Zealand scientists’ goal was to investigate the acceptability of the new both therapies.

Not only smokers from New Zealand desired to quit by using smokeless tobacco. For example most of people fromWellington reported their big desire to use the oral tobacco pouch to quit smoking, researcher Dr. Brent Caldwell said."They wanted snus and Zonnic, which both of them had evidently fewer gastrointestinal side-effects than gum and the resultants of quitting smoking bigger. Zonnic and snus look like tempting and efficient alternatives to help smokers reduce smoking or even quit as they're easier to take, people like the influence and they cut short removal symptoms," Dr. Caldwell added.

As it is known nicotine, when is separated from the cigarettes, become a safe product. In general snus can’t be linked with increased rate of mouth cancer, as other chewing tobacco products are considered. But a 70-year-old smoker, who later stopped smoking without any quit-smoking products help, said he didn't like any of these anti-smoking therapies, even though he not like and can’t accept snus product. However, he declared that if such smokeless products could help end smoking, then they should be made accessible.

The researchers will never stop their investigations till will not find the most effective product which will help smokers to quit smoking easier. For example they planned to test the effectiveness of a nicotine mouth spray too.
