I want to quit smoking or vaping

Also called: quit smoking, stop smoking, quit vaping, nicotine cravings, chantix, varenicline

Wanting to quit is the hardest step — the second hardest is trying to do it on willpower alone. Combining a cessation medication with a quit-date plan roughly triples long-term success. Clindle prescribes varenicline (Chantix), bupropion (Zyban), and combination nicotine replacement (long-acting patch plus short-acting gum, lozenge, or inhaler) over a video visit, sets a quit date 1–2 weeks out, and follows up at 2, 6, and 12 weeks to manage side effects and cravings. We treat vaping the same way. If you have cardiovascular disease, we time medications carefully — but quitting is always safer than continuing to smoke.
