Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is very difficult to quit smoking in a heavy smoker. Gradually you should decease the quantity of daily smoking. Suppose, if you are taking 10 to 15 cigarettes per day, then decrease it to three to four per day and then gradually 1 to 2 per day and finally stop it. You might have its withdrawal symptoms, Nicotex (Nicotine) like tablet will be beneficial to quit smoking. You can drink more water and perform an exercise like swimming during smoking withdrawal. Be confident and sure enough to leave smoking habit. I suggest you consult a good smoking de-addiction programme. They will help you through a counseling session as well. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.
