How many people who quit begin smoking again?
Far too many. While it depends on the program, most studies show that at least 50% of the people who successfully quit smoking will begin were smoking again within 6 months. Some of the studies show relapse rates over 90%.This high relapse rate is the major reason for continuing supportive therapy long after a person quits smoking. This can be done through monthly physician visits, regularly attending smoking cessation classes, or some other form of follow-up care.This is also the major reason I invented the QT-Watch.
