The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a combination of varenicline and accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (aTMS) works to help adults quit using nicotine products. Researchers will compare varenicline + active aTMS to varenicline + sham (inactive) aTMS to see the effect of aTMS on reaching abstinence. The main question it aims to answer is: Does receiving active aTMS + varenicline lead to higher abstinence rates and lower nicotine craving? Participants will be asked to: * Complete 2 brain MRI scans * Take varenicline every day for 12 weeks * Quit using nicotine products at the end of the second week of varenicline * Complete 5 consecutive days (Monday-Friday, uninterrupted) of TMS treatments * Complete 12 brief, weekly follow-up visits * Complete a brief daily survey each day that they take the study drug
