A member asked:

Can you recommend what to do to get rid of big smoking addiction-my mom?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Smoking: Several approaches: slowly reduce the number of cigarettes by one every 1-2 days. Abrupt cessation with or without the aid of therapy like nicorette gums , nicoderm (nicotine patch) patches, Chantix or bupropion. With the last two medications you should pre-determine the date you are stopping. Accupuncture is also very effective.
