Hello Good decision! Well done! NRT is a good idea - Nicotine gums / lozenges will definitely help. Considering you have tried quitting in the past, you should visit a Psychiatrist regarding the same. CBT, NRT and medicines along with counselling should help a lot.

That’s a good step. If you’re quitting smoking then start with nicotine patches or gums as they help during cravings and withdrawal. Also stay hydrated and stay away from triggers like alcohol and friends who smoke. Try to keep yourself busy so it will help. Whenever you feel like smoking then just think that this is the time where you’re being tested. If you control it once then you’ll be able to control it again and again.

Congratulations on deciding to quit smoking—this is a big and positive step toward better health. Since you’re smoking 8–10 cigarettes per day and have struggled with quitting in the past, using a structured method like Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) or medications can significantly improve your chances of success. 1. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT): • Options: Nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, nasal spray, or inhalers. • These help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. • For your level of smoking, a 21 mg patch combined with gum/lozenges for breakthrough cravings may be helpful. • Bupropion (Zyban) or Varenicline (Champix/Chantix) are non-nicotine medications that can reduce cravings. • These require a doctor’s prescription and can be very effective when combined with behavioral support. • Behavior therapy or mobile apps (e.g., QuitNow, SmokeFree) can help track your progress and keep you motivated. • Talk to a counselor or join a support group—it greatly increases success rates. Helpful Tips • Stay hydrated and keep your hands and mouth busy (use a straw, chew gum). • Avoid triggers like alcohol and situations where you usually smoke, especially in the first 2 weeks. • If you slip up, don’t give up—learn from it and keep going. Quitting is a process, not a one-time

Congratulations on making the decision to quit smoking—this is a crucial and positive step toward improving your health. Since you smoke around 8–10 cigarettes daily and have struggled to go beyond 2 days without smoking, nicotine dependence is likely moderate. Yes, you can definitely consider support in the form of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) or prescription medications. NRT (patches, gum, lozenges) helps reduce withdrawal symptoms by providing controlled nicotine doses without the harmful effects of tobacco smoke. Prescription medications like Bupropion (Zyban) or Varenicline (Champix/Chantix) can also help reduce cravings. However, these treatments work best when combined with behavioral support—through counseling, mobile apps, or structured programs. Tracking your triggers and managing them is crucial. Please consult in dm for more For proper dosing much more details would be needed and also a consult with a psychiatrist is needed for evaluation
Next Steps
1. Visit a physician or psychiatrist to evaluate which NRT or medication is best suited for you. 2. Consider joining a structured smoking cessation program or support group. 3. Start keeping a diary to log cravings, triggers, and slips—this helps with pattern recognition and control. 4. Fix a quit date, prepare for it mentally, and inform your close friends/family for accountability and support.
Health Tips
Avoid common triggers like alcohol, caffeine, or stressful environments initially. • Drink water, exercise, and keep sugar-free gum or snacks handy. • Don’t be discouraged by slips—each attempt teaches you something new. • If using NRT or medications, follow dosage and tapering instructions carefully to avoid side effects or relapse
