Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I can recommend him to use nicotine replacement therapy and it can be found in forms of gums, lozenges and patches that contain nicotine to replace the need and reduce cravings.
I can recommend you Nicorette XXXXXXX lozenges used as lozenge to decrease cravings of nicotine that occur typically after quitting or abstinence.
Also he can use patches of niciderm the strength of patch depends on amount of cigarettes he is having. If he is having 10 cigarettes he can choose patch containing 21 mg of nicotine and change after six weeks to 14 mg patch next two weeks and 7 mg next two weeks.
Hope I have answered the question.
