Question : how to stop chewing tobboco
Brief Answer:
Know that it is bad habbit
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Firstly keep in mind that it is a bad habbit. Not only it looks bad but also affects your health and makes you prone to oral cancers.
Now to stop it, just select a date and stop chewing tobacco from that date.
Alternatively go for a tobacco free interval of your choice, Once you are comfortable, you can increase the interval. Strong will power is the best way to go.
Now you may experience some withdrawal symptoms that can be easily controlled with medicines. Thus it is better to stay in contact with a local doctor, who can prescribe you something.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
