Buproprion used for smoking cessation. Also antidepressant. U can stop taking smoking after 2 weeks of initiation of buproprion. So that u may not get any withdrawal symptoms. And excessive smoking decrease effectivity of medicine.

Hello, It is better to stop smoking. Smoking increases the metabolism of Bupropion. U may need to increase the dose of bupron to reduce craving for smoking. Consult for help.
