I completely agree. I don't like the company, but see always saw it as a viable cheap alternative to pricy nicotine gum/patches.
I've always felt the reason why most people fail quitting any drug America deems unsafe, is because of this all or nothing approach they have to quitting. American black and white thinking.
I've seen so many people quit a drug (Alcohol, nicotine, benzos, opoids, and even meth) by going cold turkey. It has dismal failure rates. Yes there are people whom have one cigarette, and they are up to 4 pack a day. Yes--there are people whom have one beer, and are buying 1.75 L of Jack daily. Those addicts are not typicical.
Tapering down over a long period of time seems to make more sence. And then allow the recovering patient access to a very low dose of their drug of choice forever.
Sorry about my speech. Personally, I have found cutting way back on a dangerous substance has been successful. And the way our government handled this opioid crisis has me seeing red. Yea--just make it impossible to get any regulated opioid, and then wonder why we have people dying by the hundreds daily due to street fentanyl.
