Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

Parag is also like any other tobacco product. Contains nicotine which is substance known to be addictive. Comes under the category of drug abuse and addiction.

Any drug abuse can only be stopped by might or mind power. Body relapse is very much less comparing to mental relapse. I had seen people stopping substances like hashish etc just with the help of mental might. Will it, wish it and stop it. Reduction will not work. Only brupt stopping and continuance will work.

Consult a psychologist for further advice. I can help you if you desire so.
Get well soon.
