Giving up smoking may be one of the most difficult things you ever do, but it also the number one best thing you can do for your health. If you've tried giving up smoking before, chances are you know what you're in for: the cravings, the irritability, the weight gain. But what you may not know is you actually do not have to suffer from any of these things. There are some things you can do to make giving up smoking a little easier.

Anti-depressants can help. When clinical studies were done on Welbuterin, researchers noticed that besides relieving depression, the drug also cut cravings and helped people quit smoking relatively easily and painlessly. Talk to your doctor to see if anti-depressants can help you quit smoking.

Nicotine replacement therapy is another way to make giving up smoking easier. You can use gum, patches, lozenges, or a nasal spray that contains nicotine. You use the product to break the smoking habit and gradually reduce how much nicotine you are using until you are eventually ready to make the leap to nicotine free.

Hypnotherapy is another way to quit smoking. A therapist will get you into a state of relaxed awareness and suggest to you ways to replace smoking with a healthier habit. When you are finished with your session, the suggestions will be in your subconscious mind. You will feel fewer or no cravings and actually be disgusted by the thought and smell of tobacco.
