Hi Rahul,

Since you are finding it difficult to quit smoking and chewing tobacco, you may consider the option of taking medicines to reduce craving for tobacco. Bupropion and varenicline are two options but bupropion will be cheaper and easily available. Discuss both options with your doctor and start one of these. Quit a few days after starting the medicine and then continue the medicine for at least three months.

Best wishes.
