Your doctor is always the best person to help figure out what is most appropriate-working with you-that is. I have also had a few that had success with a good hypnotist.
My mom quit after smoking for over 50 years and has not touched one in almost 10 years now.
Smoking is one of the most difficult of all to stop but not impossible.
Hugs to you all on your journey.
