Please describe the treatments available for nicotine addiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Behavioral aids: As far as we know, treatments consist of aids in changing the tobacco users behavior. Hypnosis can help change the experience to make it unpleasant and there are other delivery systems - gum or patch - that allow habit change w/out the additional pain of withdrawal. Later, you get the pain of withdrawal. Personal support - from close ones or in groups like aa can help.
