Question: What medication would work best for me?You have five choices of medications that are currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration:
A non-nicotine pill (bupropion SR). Nicotine gum. A nicotine inhaler. A nicotine nasal spray. Nicotine patch. The gum and patches are available at your local pharmacy, or you can ask your health care provider to write you a prescription for one of the other medications. The good news is that all five medications have been shown to be effective in helping smokers who are motivated to quit.
