A multi-component compound for the simultaneous treatment of nicotine addiction and the side effects of nicotine withdrawal, such as excessive appetite. The first component is a bivalent negative sulfur compound in an amount effective to control nicotine craving or the withdrawal symptoms resulting from nicotine withdrawal. The bivalent negative sulfur is selected from a group that includes, but is not limited to, alkyl sulfides, colloidal sulfur, hydropersulfides, organic thio compounds or their salts. The second component is a serotonin precursor, such as tryptophan or its derivative 5-HTP, which is used to assist the body in producing more serotonin which in turn suppresses appetite. The appetite suppressant(s) are combined with the bivalent negative sulfur compound(s) to provide a single compound that reduces nicotine craving and simultaneously suppresses increased appetite resulting from nicotine withdrawal.
