Instructor and Class,
I’ve found a lot of interesting key points halfway into this course. However, I was not familiar with
any of the smoking cessation pharmacological treatment methods. I think the most interesting part
about this topic for me is that I had no idea there were so many options to choose from and that they
can be bought over the counter. People who are wanting to close the chapter of smoking tobacco
products are able to pick treatment modalities, such as gum, lozenges, transdermal patches, inhalers,
nasal sprays, Varenicline, or Buproprion. Although, Bupropion, Varenicline, inhalers, and nasal sprays for
smoking cessation are obtained through prescription. What’s even more interesting is the
implementation of Vapors to aid with smoking cessation. Vapors happen to be a popular trend right
now. I think this is a great idea for people who are trying to stop smoking because these people are
allowed to treat their smoking habit while having the opportunity to “smoke”. I think some people just
enjoy the smoking part of “smoking” but then become addicted to the nicotine. I remember meeting
this lady in the tobacco shop who was purchasing vapor juice that had no nicotine in it, but the flavor
was menthol cigarettes. I was curious as to why she wanted the flavor of cigarettes without the nicotine,
so I questioned her about it. Turns out, she was on her journey to smoking cessation. Everyone is
different and maybe even particular about how they want things done. In my opinion, providing many
options and opportunities for someone to better themselves is necessary for successful outcomes.

The pharmacological supports can be a helpful addition to smoking cessation efforts!
