It’s hard to quit smoking, but you can do it. To have the best chance of quitting and staying a non-smoker, you need to know what you’re up against, what your options are, and where to go for help. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can help with the difficult withdrawal symptoms and cravings that 70% to 90% of smokers say is their only reason for not giving up cigarettes. Using NRT reduces those symptoms.

Homoeopathic medicines can help reduce the withdrawal symptoms.
Take nux Vomica 30 1 dose every week.
It is better to take proper consultation.

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