Cold turkey refers to an expression that describes the actions of a person giving up an addiction once for all. In this method, a person gives up smoking immediately rather than gradually. This is the cheapest option with proven results. The major attraction of this method is that the majority of nicotine will be out of the person's system and blood stream in a short span of time. It is often combined with a cessation program.

Many people present the view that nicotine cessation is the most complex form of cold turkey. It is easier said than done. It is even difficult than other cessations like heroin cessation or cocaine cessation. The term 'cold turkey' should be preceded by the verb "to go". Using this method is often referred to as "going cold turkey".

As for as nicotine withdrawal is concerned, this method has been proved as successful one. However, sudden withdrawal from alcohol using this method can lead to life threatening conditions. So it is not an ideal option for alcohol withdrawal.
