Quitting smoking and tobacco products is hard, and most smokers need help to do it. Seven medications and three types of behavioral have been proven effective in helping tobacco users quit. Nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) are available over-the-counter (patch, gum, lozenge) and by prescription (patch, nasal spray, inhaler.) There are also two non-nicotine, prescription-only medications FDA approved to help tobacco users quit.
