Suggest Treatment For Tobacco Addiction
Hi, I am 37 year old and am addicted to chewing guthka. This habit is for past 8 years, I started chewing gutkha as an alternative to smoking which I did for 5 years prior to this habit. I consume 6-7 pouches in a day. Although I do not have a strong urge of chewing but occasionally my mouth feels empty, the major issue is that of chewing in the toilet where I am unable to freshen up without this aid. I strongly feel that if I could go to toilet without having gutkha then I would easily be able to quit it once and for ever. Pls advise.

both can cause the worst of the medical problems.
try to avoid chewing as much as possible.
please visit a psychiatry specialist to get a proper conselling, & deaddiction advice
non nicotine gum for chewing, as an alternative will be of help.
