Hello,
To begin with, you can give your husband nicotex chewing gum, and gradually, he can reduce the number of chewing gums and can stop it ultimately.
There are medicines that maybe effective, but they need to be prescribed by a qualified psychiatrist only after a proper evaluation.
You can consult a local psychiatrist and go ahead.
