Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Smoking cessation should be treated in phase wise manner. You need psychiatrist counselling, strong motivation and if needed drugs.
Psychiatrist counselling is very important. So first consult psychiatrist and discuss your problem.
Inner urge and desire of quitting smoking is necessary. Strong motivation and family support is must for easy quitting.
Drugs like Nicotine gums, lozenges, bupropion, verenicline etc are available.
But first consult pulmonologist or psychiatrist and discuss all these.
