Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.

This you must be knowing can cause cancer of buccal mucosa.
So, i would advise you to stop it immediately.
Now your question is how!

Adopt following:
1. Start chewing a gum instead of betel leaf. Your cravings would reduce.
2. If plain chewing gum doesn't work, you can chew nicotine chewing gum, like Nicotex 4mg.
3. Last but not the least, "Strong will"

Also, get an evaluation by your doctor for any evidence of cancer.

This is my best advise for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
