You will need to consult your doctor for a prescription and you can get the medicine which will help to ease the withdrawal and also the craving. When quitting, you must take one day at a time; though you must give up all smoking at once, and promptly. If you look too far ahead you will get discouraged and will give up. If you sit and count the number of days you have given up, that will also focus too much on achievement. You must focus on the here and now, on that day to be precise. After all ...more

Hello, smoking is one of the easiest & one of the most difficult habits to break because

First of all when any person gets addicted to these kind of habits, they can not quit easily as much as they got addicted. There will power, self motivation, consciousness of health, awareness of health dissorders play important role than using any medications. Mediacation will help 25% only. But rest of result depends on your committment, will power, obstinacy. No medicnes will do wonder. Even temporarily, if you developed some aversion also, you may get again the desire. Gradually.

Many a times clients make up their mind only to loose motivation midway. Make sure you don't do the same. Before medicines, try this. Set a quit date and keep on decreasing till that day. Abstain from smoking from the quit date. You may face withdrawal once you completely stop smoking. If you can't control withdrawals meet a psychiatrist for medicines. There is a high chance you can do it without medicines. Just see that the quit date is not too far away.

Yet, you cannot quit smoking because you find it extremely difficult to resist the nicotine urge. Ayurveda says that the root cause of addiction is mental stress due to one of the 3 Doshas that are Vata, Pitta, Kapha. People try to terminate them through temporary, addictive methods rather than a bit more natural, holistic methods. ...more
