While the total number of smokers in Portugal has slowly been increasing since 2010, up from 1.74 million in 2010 to 1.75 million in 2013 according to Euromonitor International data, many Portuguese smokers are still attempting to quit their smoking habits. However, the economic crisis and the concomitant decline recorded in average disposable income levels resulted in Portuguese smokers having only limited financial ability to purchase products which can help them give up smoking such as NRT, with many of them attempting to stop smoking without the assistance of NRT smoking cessation aids. There is a general consensus among the companies involved in NRT smoking cessation aids that the major difference between 2012 and 2013 is that Portuguese smokers are now prepared to go cold turkey and stop smoking without the use of NRT smoking cessation aids at least twice before purchasing products which can help them to deal with their nicotine cravings. According to Portuguese pharmacists, due to high cost of NRT smoking cessation aids, Portuguese smokers generally prefer to try to stop smoking on their own before investing in NRT smoking cessation aids.
