Tobacco dependence is managed with some anticraving agents, motivation therapy and psychological intervention. If anticraving drugs are not effective, replacement therapy like gums may be tried. Motivation is the key in Deaddiction. There are no medications or therapies to cure addiction overnight. Do consult a psychiatrist for comprehensive assessment and management.
