MYTH: "Mild cigarettes are a healthier option."
FACT: They are no less harmful. It's also important to look at how you smoke; if you take heavy puffs on a low-tar cigarette, you'll take in a large amount of nicotine.
MYTH: "I might over-dose on nicotine through NRT (nicotine replacement therapy)."
FACT: If you use NRT as directed, you will absorb less nicotine than you would from cigarettes.
MYTH: "I don't smoke much so I'm not addicted."
FACT: Addiction can be judged by "time to first cigarette." If you're heavily addicted, you'll need a cigarette within the first 30 minutes of waking up.
MYTH: "I'll gain weight if I quit."
FACT: You might be tempted to replace cigarettes with food once you've quit, but avoid this trap. Regular exercise and healthy eating will keep those kilos away.
