Hello Lybrate User smoking or tobacco dependence is now considered as addictive disorder. You do have effective treatment options if you wish to abstain. At present the treatment options include anti craving medicines as well as nicotine replacement therapy such as Nicotine patches gums lozenges. The treatment depends on severity of use. There are also behavioral modification therapy available to further facilitate abstinence. I suggest you may opt for this under guidance of psychiatrist.

You have to quit cold turkey because the body and mind will torture you endlessly while attempting reduction in smoking.

But don’t be discouraged because it is not too late even now to reverse all the ill-effects of smoking. I don’t know what other organs could be damaged but do go for a thorough medical check up to as...more
