Detailed assessment is needed. Like the reason behind smoking, number of cigarettes and comorbid medical condition. Next you should be assessed for withdrawal from smoking and for reducing further craving. Thre are medications to reduce nicotine craving too. If you consult a psychiatrist they will be able to help you. All the best.

Laugh. Massage.
Eat a healthy diet.
Pursue one hubby walk in nature meditations.
Yoga
for details, you can consult me.
