Quitting smoking is the process of stopping tobacco cigarette use, often involving nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum), prescription medications like varenicline, counseling, or cold-turkey willpower. It is pursued for major health benefits including reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and lung disease, though it is challenging due to nicotine's addictive properties and withdrawal symptoms.
