Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns about the ill effect of smoking.

If you ask me about quitting smoking, my answer is your motivation and determination, as it is the best medicine to heal your smoking problem. However if there are some withdrawal symptoms prescription medications can be used which include bupropion and verenicline. I must inform you that medicine have value only with withdrawal symptoms and craving associated with quitting smoking.

I hope this answers you.
