What works against the smoking addiction?

Get best treatments: Stopping is one of the best things to do for your health! make sure to get the best treatments: coaching, free at 800-quit-now they won't nag you, will help with a plan and get you though cravings. Medications help with craving and nicotine withdrawal. Depending where you live and your insurance- you may be able to get them low cost or free. Get through a day, then a week, then a month!

Ignoring failure: Discuss with your doctor. Use multiple strategies e.g., nicotine replacement, smoking cessation meds, behavioral approaches. Take one day at a time, and if you don't succeed, ignore failure and try again, and again, and again, until you succeed. Don't let failure sap your self-esteem. If it were really easy to quit, it wouldn't be called addiction. Good luck.

Zyban (bupropion) or Chantix: There are two medications that are very effective against the addiction to smoking. One is Wellbutrin (bupropion) (also called Zyban) and the other is called Chantix. I've had better luck prescribing Chantix. One of these drugs, sometimes in combination with a nicotine patch is very effective. Studies have shown that its also easier to quite when involved in a smoking cessation support group. Best wishes!
