Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators hypothesize that "Rescue" treatment with Zyban in combination with NRT or Chantix will increase success rates over leaving subjects on NRT when they are NRT insufficient responders, i.e. they have shown an unfavorable response to NRT in the first week pre-quit or the first week post-quit.

* Current psychiatric disease (with the exception of anxiety disorders, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and ADHD);
* Suicidal ideation (within the past 10 years) or lifetime occurrence of attempted suicide;
* Current depression - The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) for Depression will be used to screen for current (within 2 weeks) depression. Potential subjects who score \>9 (or who score \>0 on item #9 ("Thoughts that you would be better off dead, or of hurting yourself in some way") will be excluded from study participation, and, at the discretion of the study physician, referred to appropriate psychiatric treatment;
* Bulimia or anorexia;
* Pregnant or nursing mothers;
* Use (within the past 30 days) of:
* Illegal drugs (or if the urine drug screen is positive),
* Experimental (investigational) drugs;

* Opiate medications for pain or sleep (non-opiate medication for pain or sleep will be allowed)
* Smokeless tobacco (chewing tobacco, snuff), cigars or pipes;
* Wellbutrin, bupropion, Zyban, Chantix, nicotine replacement therapy or any other smoking cessation aid.
* Alcohol abuse - The AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) questionnaire will be used to assess alcohol abuse. Potential participants will be asked the first two questions on the AUDIT questionnaire during the phone screen. If the person scores "4" on both questions, a screening appointment will not be scheduled. During the screening session the entire AUDIT questionnaire will be administered. Females who score greater than or equal to 13 and males who score greater than or equal to 15 will be excluded from the study.
