what exactly is this smoke away system? in their ads they say it is an all herbal supplement, that makes you quit smoking in 7 days. and then they have testimonials from people that have been smoking for like 40 years, and they said they were smoke free in 3 days…this sounds like some bull to me. And nowhere in their tv ads can i see a hint of what this product costs, or what the ingredients are. Can someone enlighten me on this mysterious product?! ---

Their website is [here.](http://www.smokeaway7day.com/) It costs US$59.95. I don’t know if it works or not, though. I quit without chemical assistance whatsoever after over 20 years (over three months “clean” now), but I can see herbal supplemements being able to aid those who need a bit of extra help. Whether it’s a placebo effect or not, I cannot say, however. ---

Ah, nevermind. I just read through their sit a bit and I see the word “homeopathy” bandied about fairly frequently. Don’t bother, it’s rubbish. ---

In their commercials there are testimonials from people saying, “I was a two pack a day smoker for twenty years and with the Smoke Away system I quit in three days!” riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. But I do so love the shot of the guy at the end of the commercial leaping into the air for joy because he’s quit smoking.
