Hi dear,
For smoking to quit gradual decreased the amount of cigarette and during that period take medication which help you to quit.
there are many medication to quit smoking like Nicotine chewing gum, lozenges, patches etc... and medication which acts on reward center also helps to quit.
for this you should consult psychiatrist for proper counselling.
Thank yoi
