Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it appears that your are nicotine dependent. There are lot of options are available for treatment of nicotine dependence. Nicotine gum and patch are the one option which helps you when you have enough motivation to quit smoking.

It is generally more effective when taken with pills or taken in guidance of a physician as he will teach you the required steps and prevent you from relapsing back. I assure you that you can achieve this goal.
