There are smokers to try to quit, but they fail if attempt without any help. A person is more likely to stop smoking if he opts for proper counseling and medications.
 
Medications do help to cope with withdrawal symptoms and cravings but behavioral therapy sessions are also needed if you are willing to quit smoking entirely. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based therapy are proven to be successful in treating smoking addiction. These therapies help the patient to learn about coping mechanisms and to change their negative behavior and thinking into a positive one.
 
Behavioral counseling is provided by specialists for treating smoking addiction. Four to eight sessions take place. Therapy sessions are considered to be successful for the patients. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps the patients identify triggers – the people, places, and things that spur behavior and teaches about relapse prevention skills along with good coping mechanisms that will help the patients to quit tobacco use.
 
Mindfulness is another method that is proved to be successful for addicts. In mindfulness-based therapy, patients learn to increase awareness of and detachment from sensations, cravings, and thoughts that might lead them to relapse. In this therapy, the patients purposely attend to the thoughts that trigger cravings and urges for tobacco and cognitively reframe them as expected and tolerable.
