Q. Kindly advise me the steps to quit smoking.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I appreciate you for taking a forward step to quit smoking.

• It is quite easy for you to quit smoking because it is just one year since you are into it.

• First of all, you need to set a quit date and inform your family and friends that you are quitting. Have a healthy diet and stress-free life. Avoid peer group that forces you to smoke.

• Get out of the tempting situation. Avoid alcohol at least for a few months. Practice yoga and listen to your favorite music to keep your mind calm.

• You might need Nicotine replacement therapy to avoid withdrawal symptoms. You can take nicotine gums and the dose of which can be gradually reduced.

• If all these methods fail, then you may require other drugs like Bupropion and counseling sessions. Please consult a psychiatrist or a de-addiction center in that case.
