Some Ideas for How to Stop Smoking Cravings

Almost everyone has heard the horror stories: dizziness, irritability, sleep problems, weight gain… While many of the more severe physical withdrawal symptoms usually last a few weeks at most, figuring out how to stop smoking cravings involves more than just weathering this initial storm.

Drug therapies with FDA-approved substances like bupropion ("Zyban") and varenicline ("Chantix") can help smokers who are figuring out how to stop smoking cravings. Nicotine gums, patches, and nasal sprays are other ways to gradually reduce the body's dependence on nicotine and deal with the physical aspects of smoking cessation.
