How can a person addicted to nicotine be healed?

Nicotine addiction: Many available means from hypnosis, medications, lozenges, patches, e-cigarettes, cognitive-behavior therapy, and biofeedback/neurofeedback. There is good old fashioned "cold turkey" as well. Carr's book describes a strategy, easy way to stop smoking. Bupropion and Chantix offer much promise as medications. Set a quit date, build in a contingency or reward for stopping, and rehearse negatives.

Treat any addiction: By increasing your motivation to change. Look at use pattern (keep a log), identify consequences, list reasons to change, rate motivation for each reason (0-10) & develop those 8+, build confidence by listing your personal successes overcoming challenges, describe benefits of change, set goals, develop a plan, measure progress, & work with supportive people & knowledgeable professionals.
