Tobacco Use in Canada
Patterns and Trends - 2012 Edition
QUITTING SMOKING: CESSATION ASSISTANCEUse of Pharmacotherapy Nearly half (48.3%) of those who attempted to quit had used some kind of stop-smoking medication (SSM), mostly NRT. Since 2003, use of the nicotine patch, the most popular SSM, decreased somewhat (from 33% to 27%), while use of nicotine gum fluctuated around one in five (Figure 6.3). Zyban use halved between 2003 and 2008, before returning in 2010 to 2003 levels.
