    TLDR No single method is best for quitting smoking; it depends on individual preferences and health.
    The study "Smoking Cessation Medications" by Abdullah Obaid Al-Dhabyan and colleagues examines the severe health impacts of smoking, such as cancer, heart disease, and conditions like androgenic alopecia, and evaluates the effectiveness of various smoking cessation methods. It highlights the benefits of quitting smoking, including improved respiratory function and reduced cancer risk. The study discusses nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) like patches and lozenges, prescription medications like bupropion and varenicline, and alternative approaches such as vitamins and herbs. It emphasizes the importance of combining medical treatments with psychological support and leveraging modern technology and social media to raise awareness and aid in smoking cessation. The study concludes that no single method is universally best, and the choice depends on individual preferences and health conditions.
