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.

Distract yourself. Turn on the tv, take a shower, or call a friend. The activity doesn’t matter as long as it gets your mind off smoking.

Get out of a tempting situation. Where you are or what you’re doing may be triggering the craving. If so, a change of sce...more
