PhaseOut to Quit Smoking
By cnt24 on
Way back in the 90's there was this device you could buy to help you quit smoking.It's called PhaseOut.I was a heavy smoker and was willing to try anything to quit, so I tried it.
PhaseOut is a smoking cessation aid.It works by piercing tiny holes in your cigarette filters to reduce the amount of smoke you inhale. It forces you to inhale more air than smoke through a gradual process--weaning.On the back of the device there are settings to increase the amount of holes punched in your filter in relation to which phase you are on.
I found the PhaseOut unit worked for me for a time.Why? Eventually you will tire of puffing your cigarette only to draw in air.So I quit smoking and gave the unit to a friend.I also picked the nasty habit back up again and couldn't get my PhaseOut back. So, the method is not fool proof or permanent. I'm probably just weak and have a hand to mouth disorder.
Fortunately, I quit again when I found out I was pregnant.I discovered seeing images of babies in the womb smoking more of a deterrent than any smoking cessation aid.
I looked around online prior to writing this review up and saw you can still buy these PhaseOut machines on eBay and from Websites.I also read PhaseOut had some legal issues for misinformation way back when.
Would I buy one again? Perhaps, if the need arises, I might also buy one as a gift for a friend.
I couldn't decide how to rate "Side Effects" here. There are no side effects using the machine itself, unless you stick your hand in the unit and punch holes in your fingers.However, death is a pretty big side effect of smoking.
I agree with just about anything that will actually help you quit smoking. I'm still a smoker(32yrs.) started when I was 9! I and my little sister are the last living remnants of our blood-line. Like I say, "If you haven't started, don't!"
Yeah my father has been smoking all of his life. He quit a few times, but he just keeps going back to it. Thanks to him I hate smoking and I will never smoke. I wish there was something that would absolutely 100% make people stop smoking.
The Phase Out device works. I have seen it work for every person who tried it. Some of them had been smoking for decades and had failed to quit using many other methods. I don't know why this device never really took hold. I guess that there just is not enough money in getting people to stop.
My hubby is a heavy smoker . I got sick and tired of his smoking habit and want him to quit smoking so 'm looking for different smoking cessation aid.Phaseout sounds an okey dokey product, the good thing about it that it seems to have no side effects. I know that no product gurantees 100% in quitting smoking and wish that phaseoutt might work for my husband in quitting smoking! I wanna gift it to my hubby for his coming birthday.lets see how effective woud it be in quitting his smoking!!
