In-depth ranking and reviews of leading quit smoking products

Once again this year we researched over 17 different top quit smoking products.  What follows is a list of the products that we feel exhibit the most effective and consistent results for a majority of the people who try them.  We've also included below the criteria we used to judge each product and the methodology we used to test not only the quit smoking product itself, but also the company offering it. 

The following is a list of what we feel are the best quit smoking products currently on the market.  Not only do these products work well, they also are offered by reputable companies that take their products and their guarantees seriously.  To read the full review and see our findings and results, click on the name of the quit smoking product below.

As you can see from our list, we only chose to include those products that satisfied a majority of our criteria.  This year, we only chose to include only the top four over-the-counter quit smoking brands.  These four products not only demonstrated high overall effectiveness, but also were easy to use, had low occurrences of side effects, and had a high success rate.  All four are also backed by the companies that make them, as evidenced by their 100% money back guarantees.
 

In order to rank each quit smoking product, we used a number of criteria that should matter to anyone considering using one of these products.  Some of the criteria included items about the product itself including effectiveness, longevity, safety, side effects, quickness of results, and success rate.  Although given less weight, we also rated the top companies on price, guarantee, reputation, customer service, ease of use, and overall satisfaction.  The end result is a thorough evaluation of not only the top quit smoking products on the market, but also the companies that make them.
 

The methodology behind the study was two-part.  The first part dealt with the actual product itself and peoples' experiences with it.  We really tried to find information, both good and bad, about each individual quit smoking product.  We also attempted to verify much of the research material that we were able to uncover.  Additionally, we tried to learn the circumstances of the person using the product; how long they have smoking, quantity smoked per day, lifestyle, etc.  After awhile, we began to get a clear picture of which products actually work, and which seem to be all hype.

The second part of the study dealt with the company offering the quit smoking product.  We "tested" them by ordering using different methods, tracking shipping times, and returning some of the product (to test their guarantee).  We also spent a lot of time at their websites testing the ease of use and live chat options.  Other potential website issues like security and privacy were also researched.

So, overall we try and give consumers a well-rounded evaluation of both the quit smoking product and the company that is manufacturing and marketing it.  With this information in hand, a better decision can be made regarding which quit smoking product will be the best choice for you.
