I'm not sure about injections, but I can let you know what worked for me. Zyban for 2 weeks, and then I stopped smoking. To curb the physical withdrawal, I used the patch in addition to the Zyban after I stopped smoking cigarettes.
In addition, if there are any other smokers in your house, it helps to have them quit at the same time. It's much harder to quit if someone is still smoking in front of you. After that last cigarette, I never looked back, and it's been over 6 years now. And I was a hardcore smoker (2 packs a day, easy). If I can do it, so can you! :)

Scott, I would suggest acupuncture. Try AIAM (American Institute of Alternative Medicine) @ www.aiam.edu or 614-825-6255. I believe that OSU East has a smoking cessation clinic that might help you, if you're truly ready to quit.

I wouldn't recommend any type of injection to quit smoking. Have you tried acupuncture or hypnosis? As far as I've heard, the urge to smoke never really goes away ... even years later. Ex-smokers have told me that the biggest thing they miss about the habit is their after-dinner cigarette. It seems to be more of a matter of being ready to quit and just not lighting another one (tough to do on a free will planet!). Until you reach that point, I don't believe there's any therapy that will really work well for you.

Don't smoke. Never will.
