Brief Answer:
There are medicines for this
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
Paan masala use is a form of tobacco addiction which can be treated by both medications and motivational enhancement therapy(MET).
Generally depending on the dose of nicotine intake we prescribe either bupropion or verenicline after giving MET.
In addition to medication active role of patient is required.
You are requested to see a psychiatrist in your city for individualized treatment.
I must assure you that with proper treatment it can be quieted in a short time.
I hope this helps you.
