First-ever clinical treatment guidelines have been released by the World Health Organization (WHO) in an effort to help the 750 million+ tobacco users globally in quitting the tobacco.
The WHO suggests NRT, or nicotine replacement therapy to get rid of tobacco addiction.
A medication called Varenicline doesn't contain nicotine. For that, a prescription is required. It could be a particularly wise choice for people to stop smokingĀ
One FDA-approved antidepressant drug used to help people quit smoking is bupropion.It helps in the withdrawal and cravings associated with quitting smoking.
Cytisine lessens the desire to smoke and lessens the intensity of nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Its molecular structure is similar to that of nicotine and varenicline.
The UN health agency has also recommended interventions like internet programs, smartphone apps, and group, individual, and phone counselling.
