Hello
Welcome to XXXXXXX

Chaini khaini consists of tobacco. Tobacco is a highly addicting substance and it consist of a number of alkaloids and Nicotine is one of them. Nicotine when taken causes a little improvement in cognitive functions which can be one explanation that some people abuse it to remain awake.

To quit nicotine first thing that is needed is Motivation. As you have mentioned that you want to quit so you entered in first step towards de addiction.

When any individual that is dependent on khaini quits first thing that is experienced is irritation like sensation in mouth followed by restlessness, anxiety, some times insomnia due to absence of nicotine in blood.

To replace deficient Nicotine I would advise you to take Chewing Gums containing Nicotine. These are available with chemists and no prescription is needed for them. Nicorex is commonly available. Stop taking khaini and take Nicorex instead.
Then you can easily taper down the Nicorex by gradual decrease in dose.

After quitting khaini you may have intense craving for it, to avoid craving a lot of medicines are available. Bupropion is one of drug that is commonly used in Nicotine cessation programs. But for this you need to visit a good Psychiatrist. Doses of 75-150 mg per day help to relief anxiety and reduce craving.

Apart from medicines I would advise you to try relaxation methods as Yoga, Meditation, Progressive Relaxation Exercises etc. to keep yourself calm which will increase your confidence.

Hope I cleared your doubt, if you have more questions you can ask again.

Thanks
