Hi, we understand your concern.
It is good that you have asked this question on healthcare magic.

Gutka is an oral chewing tobacco.Nicotine is the main chemical which leads you to get addicted to it.Nicotine is the responsible chemical which gives you the high and alertness when you consume gutka.
Hence I would suggest you to start Nicotine replacement therapy .That is you can use Nicotine gums or Nicotine lozenges for 1 month and gradually reduce the number gums used per day.You can consult a psychiatrist who will prescribe you either tab.bupropion or tab.verinicline.Both drugs are helpful in reducing cravings for Nicotine products.

I appreciate your effort to quit tobacco.All the best with your venture.
