- There are many types of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) available such as patches, tablets, gum, inhaler, lozenges, and spray. You can get some over-the-counter from your pharmacist.
- There are also several medications to help you quit, such as Varenicline™ or Bupropion™. These are offered by prescription from your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse practitioner.
- Many people find that either NRT or medication is very helpful when they have the urge to smoke and that their success in quitting can be doubled with medication.
Talk to your doctor, nurse practitioner or pharmacist, to find a medication that will work best for you.
