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.
