Smoking Addiction
Quitting smoking is hard, most smokers, have probably made at least one serious attempt to stop unsuccessfully prior to getting help. Patients are much more likely to be able to stop smoking if they use medications and counseling, which have both been proved effective, especially in combination.
Medications
Some medications are known as nicotine replacement therapy because they contain varying amounts of nicotine. Some of these nicotine replacement therapies require a prescription, but others don't. There are two approved quit-smoking medications that don't contain nicotine, and both are available only by prescription. Any of these products can help reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms — making it more likely that you'll stop smoking for good. Using more than one approach may help you get better results.
TMS
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been found to be an effective treatment for smoking addiction. TMS targets the impulse and reward areas of the brain that are negatively impacted by nicotine use and can work to regulate and restore those areas to proper function. Medications help you cope by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, while counseling helps you develop the skills you need to give up nicotine for good. The more time you spend with a counselor, the better your treatment results will be. TMS can help rewire the neural pathways to decrease symptoms and cravings and reduce the impulse to smoke. Together with medication, counseling, and treatments like TMS you CAN quit!
