I just feel that since there are so many options for quitting smoking, that it is insane to start with meds.
And the suggestion that someone like G-man who can't quit smoking needs an antidepressant absolutely makes no sense in light of the people who have quit who never touched an AD. It took them several attempts but eventually, they succeeded.
Just so you know, I am not against using meds for people to quit smoking. If someone is in grave danger health wise and has been unable to quite smoking using other methods, then I think trying a drug makes sense.
