Brief Answer: combination of behavioral and drug therapy Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX A combination of behavioral and drug therapy works for quitting smoking. You can try Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRT) in the form of gums and patches. The drugs used are Bupropion and Varenicline. Both are approved for use in smoking cessation treatments. You may want to try them. Couseling in the form of cognitive behavioral therapy would benefit you as well. Wish you good luck.
