Hi,
It appears that your friend will find it easier to quit be using medicines like bupropion, which reduce the craving for tobacco and also have anti-depressant action. Ask him to consult any good psychiatrist in Chennai. The other thing he can do is to visit the tobacco cessation centers attached to the psychiatry department of any of the medical colleges in Chennai.
Best wishes.
