How can i quit tobacco completely. tried patches of nicotine but no result.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: The first thing is a formal tobacco cessation program. The group and individual support and expert advice is critical to success. The combination with the most success is varenicline (chantix) plus a program, with about 40-45% of people successfully quitting, and almost 2/3 of them staying quit. Another option is bupropion, sold as zyban for smoking cessation, again with a program. Good luck!
