Sumario: Smoking is a chronic disease due to physical and psychological nicotine dependence and remains as the leading cause of preventable mortality. Availability of tobacco products and social approval has a great impact on consumption in the general population. Smoking is a paradoxical problem. Although multiple cost-effective therapies are available, health practitioners are barely trained or motivated to treatthese patients. Appropriate specialized centers and health coverage for its management are also lacking. Pharmacological therapy must be a part of an organized, interdisciplinary and multifactorial strategy, prescribed in an adequate stage of change. This article is a review of the pharmacological treatment for smoking cessation.
