Breaking Big Tobacco


As a wonderful family physician, you convince one of your patients to quit smoking. You transition them to a medication for smoking cessation which enhances CNS noradrenergic and dopaminergic release. You tell the patient to start the medication a week before their quit date and to take it for three months. The side effects are insomnia, agitation, dry mouth, and headache.

Challenge: What's the medication?
