If you’re looking to quit smoking, we suggest U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medications such as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) – patches, gum, lozenges, sprays, and inhalers, or non-nicotine medications like varenicline (Chantix®) or Bupropion (Zyban).
These medications, combined with individual or group counseling, have been shown to be the most successful ways to quit.
There are not enough study results or industry regulations for safe vaping or e-cigarette use and the evidence is mixed on using e-cigarettes or vaping to quit tobacco.
Talk with a healthcare provider when considering alternatives to smoking.
