Suggest Remedy To Quit Smoking
Hi Sir, I am looking to quit smoking, but finding it really difficult to do. I am not a regular drinker, but on occasions I end up drinking heavy. I have blood sugar as well. The medications I have are galvus met 50/1000, telista 20 and Ecosprin AV. My blood sugars are normal as of now, including my A1C. Today I checked my BP in the morning and it was 140/90, which has been normal recently. I go to swimming for days a week at least, but otherwise I have a sedentary lifestyle. Need to get out of this. Please help. I am 41 Thanks and regards, Biswapriya

Hi dear,
Smoking to quit you have good motivation.
There are two methods to quit smoking.
1. quit it gradually.
decide a quit date.
till that date gradually decrease the amount of smoking.
With the help of medication like bupropion, etizolam etc..
Then on that day quit it totally.
due to medication and gradual decrease amount not experienced any withdrawal.
2. sudden stop.
in this method stop smoking the same day you consult.
and start nicotine replacement therapy like nicotine gums, lozenges, patches etc..
consult psychiatrist for detail counselling.
Thank you
