description | India is the second largest tobacco consumer and the third largest tobacco producer in the world. The current trends of tobacco use in India includes 1 million deaths per year, and the problem is worsening, and also, tobacco use will cause 13% of deaths in India by 2022. To control this number, it is an alarming situation to work on the main etiology. Smoking cessation programs are considered very useful in helping tobacco users to quit, as it is a very difficult addiction to break and effective approaches are required. So, authors reported a case of 61-year-old male patient who was a chronic smoker and used to smoke 20–25 cigarettes per day. He started noticing the ill effects of tobacco in the body, so he finally decided to seek help from doctor. His habit reduced to half in few days, and finally he completely quitted smoking with the help of behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapy. |
