How To Get Rid Of Swelling Tobacco Addiction?
my husband has been trying to quit chewing pan parag (pan masala) for sometime. when he stops he becomes quite irratible and moody. He has tantrums and has kicked our dog in his latest attempt. I don't know what to do. He also smokes a pack a day. He is pretty healthy overall. His blood pressure is a little high, not enough to warrant medication.
