Dear User,

Thanks for using healthcare magic.

From the available description it appears that you are dependent on tobacco and motivated enough to quit smoking.

I am sorry to say that medical ethics does not allow me to write a medication here as all the medicines used for quitting smoking are prescription only.

It is absolutely necessary to meet a physician for getting medication. He will guide you quit this bad habit. There are physicians available for same and you need to make some effort to search one. There are already preexisting conditions which need to take care of before prescribing any medication to you.

I like to inform you that smoking with hypertension and diabetes is a common occurrence for those who develop cardiovascular disease in near future.

'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks
