Hi,
Addiction to smoking can be treated firstly by your motivation and dedication to quit and secondly it can be done by nicotine replacement therapy and indulging yourself in activities you like. I would suggest you to
- Start on Chantix as these are most effective.
- Keep yourself away from triggers.
- Stay motivated.
- Drink plenty of fluids and take diet rich in multivitamins.
Visit psychologist once if you will find difficulty in quitting and get yourself uplifted. Avoid company and places which triggers you for smoking for few days.
Best Wishes,
