Dear Shyamal, Your father can use Nicotex gum for maximum 12 weeks to quit smoking. With high BP, diabetes and age, smoking adds to risk for heart diseases. Quitting smoking reduces the risk even after many years of smoking. Nicotex will not be useful to quit alcohol. He may need other treatments for alcohol withdrawal.
