I truly believe it is another big-pharma medical scam. Quitting smoking is big business - to big not to exploit.

There is a paper by a prize-winning economist about addiction and giving up smoking etc. and why cold turkey is always best. You might want to look that up. Sorry I can't remember any of the details.
