2. behavioral therapy. this involves working with a counselor to find ways not to smoke. together, you'll find your triggers (such as emotions or situations that make you want to smoke) and make a plan to get through the cravings.

3. nicotine replacement therapy. there are several types, including nicotine gum, patches, inhalers, sprays, and lozenges. they work by giving you nicotine without the use of tobacco. you may be more likely to quit with nicotine replacement therapy, but it works best when you use it with behavioral therapy and lots of support from friends and family. and remember that the goal is to end your addiction to nicotine, not simply to quit using tobacco.
