To explore the biology of nicotine addiction and to discuss the latest effective treatments for nicotine dependence. Research indicates that the most effective methods for treating nicotine dependence are nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and bupropion SR (BUP). We conclude that pharmacological adjuncts (NRT & BUP) achieve their greatest success when combined with behavioral counseling.
