Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT): This includes nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, inhalers, and nasal sprays, which can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with quitting smoking.
Bupropion (Wellbutrin): This is an antidepressant medication that has also been found to be effective in helping people quit smoking. It works by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Varenicline (Chantix): This medication is designed to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms by blocking the effects of nicotine on the brain.
It’s important to note that these medications should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Additionally, quitting smoking is a challenging process that often requires a combination of strategies, including counseling and support from friends and family.
