Hello blacken-ga,
Thank you for your question.
Nicotine is a highly addictive substance, and stopping smoking is not
an easy feat. The greater the number of cessation products available
on the market, the better for people who are trying to quit.
According to "Smoking Cessation," a new report from Decision Resources
Inc. smoking cessation is on the rise.
“Despite the large number of individuals internationally who remain
smokers — some 156 million people in the world's seven major
pharmaceutical markets — smoking cessation is on the rise. The growth
of the smoking cessation therapies market, which is expected to more
than triple over the next 10 years, is driven by the recent surge in
public awareness of the dangers of smoking, legislation banning
smoking in many public areas, and the development of pharmacotherapies
for treatment of nicotine addiction.”
“The current smoking cessation market is valued at $450 million. It is
dominated by nicotine replacement in multiple delivery forms:
transdermal patch, gum, nasal spray and, the newest formulation,
inhaler.”
“In addition, sales of smoking cessation therapies will help propel
the market to nearly $1.5 billion by 2007.”
