Can any doc tell me what's the best product on the market to help give up smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's best is what: Works for you. Only about 5% of people succeed with long-term quitting "cold turkey." with the addition of a smoking cessation program, this goes to about 8-10%, and adding nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum etc.) increases to about 15-18%, as does zyban (bupropion). Chantix (varenicline) + smoking cessation program increases success rates up to 40-45%, but has potential side effects.
