End point method
The end point method is a method of defeating an addiction . It is often used in the area of tobacco smoke withdrawal. The smoker specifies a day on which he wants to quit smoking and stops using tobacco on this specified date. Many addicts quit overnight without first setting the date. This can also be recorded under the term endpoint method.
Among other things, the BZgA and the WHO Collaboration Center for Tobacco Control Heidelberg recommend the so-called end point method , because about 80 to 90% of former smokers who have been non-smokers for a long time have managed to quit smoking with this method .
According to the study "Nicotine replacement therapy for smoking cessation", about three to five percent of smokers who quit after the end point method are still non-smokers after six to twelve months, the remaining 95 to 97% relapse. NRTs help another two to three percent.
The information from the BZgA / WHO Collaboration Center for Tobacco Control Heidelberg and the statements of the study "Nicotine replacement therapy for smoking cessation" can be reconciled if one assumes that about six out of 100 tobacco smokers who quit smoking manage to abstain for more than twelve months stay. Of these six people, around four to six people (around 80 to 90%) have successfully made it with the final point method.
