Can you prevent smoking withdrawal?

1: Cigarette smokiing cessation can be aided by adding in nicotene containing prescription products. These will help with the withdrawl significantly. I have used the Nicotrol inhalers and nicotene gum frequently in my patients. There are some other prescription medications that help, like wellbutrin (bupropion) and clonidine.

Limit, not prevent: You can try to limit or minimize your nicotine withdrawal by slowly tapering your smoking. Then, you can switch to the nicotine gum/patch/lozenge to further taper and step down the amount of nicotine. The slower one goes, the more successful it tends to be. Good luck!

No: Even when you smoke you go through low grade withdrawal. It can be minimized with treatment but can only be avoided by being completely off nicotine products.

NRT: Nicotine replacement therapy May help to decrease withdrawal symptoms. Products may come in the form of patches, gum, pills, nasal or mouth spray & Inhalators.
