What Are Some Effective Smoking Cessation Strategies?
Effective smoking cessation strategies often involve a combination of behavioral therapies and pharmacological treatments. Behavioral therapies can include counseling, support groups, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Pharmacological treatments may involve nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), bupropion, and varenicline.
