How can I stop smoking?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a smoking habit for the past eight years. How can I stop smoking? I have used Nicotex to relieve this issue. Please explain.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your post and understand your concern, Let me assure you that quitting smoking is not as difficult as people believe, if you have a strong will, there are many treatment options. I would suggest some of them. You can start taking Bupropion sustained release tablet once a day before stopping smoking for a few days and then once you start to feel disliking smoking, stop cigarettes and take it twice a day. You can chew Nicotine gum if you feel an urge at any point in time. However, as I said strong will for quitting is important.
