Talk to General Physician on Nicotine Addiction

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Female, 25 years old, Lahore

I am addicted to smoking cigarettes. Its been almost 5 years since i am smoking. My diet is really bad and i drink a lot of fizzy drinks before, with and after smoking. Now after 5 years, i am facing trouble breathing (shortness of breath) and trouble in any kind of aerobic activity ( brisk walking, going up the stairs etc) I want to quit smoking. I tried multiple times but i failed. Seeking for professional help with medication.

It's not easy quitting I'll agree. I smoked for 27 years a pack a day myself and had 7 or 8 failed attempts before I succeeded. And now I run a clinic to help people like you quit.
What helped me was understanding the components of my addiction and how each one worked. You have to fight three wars simultaneously and unless you understand the mechanism by which nicotine effects your brain physiologically and psychologically, you tend to take inappropriate steps to quit and fail.
Unfortunately, I am going out of Pakistan for two weeks on Wednesday so we have an opportunity to meet today or tomorrow. Or you can book an appointment after December 5. If you do, tell them why you want to see me because I normally refer all other cases to my junior colleagues now and only work with quitting and a few other areas of interest. Best of luck.
