Key Points

  • Patient A transitioned from nicotine gum to patches, showing significant improvement over six weeks.
  • Psychosocial support was vital in managing cravings and anxiety during treatment for both patients.
  • Bupropion dosage adjustments helped Patient B cope with challenges, especially after abrupt cessation.
