Can you tell me how could i avoid my smoking habit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"avoid it" - dunno: Deal with it, many many ways. Nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum, lozenges, inhalers) are effective and safe, zyban (bupropion) is also effective but has side effects and needs a doctors prescription and monitoring and Chantix (varenicline) has had the best success (almost 40% quit rates) but can increase depression and some heart problems. Behavioral programs, cold turkey works for some.
