Hello! First of all you need TO GET RID OF SMOKING. To get a proper bowel movement your diet should have plenty of fluids and fibre - around 8-10 glasses of water, seasonal fresh fruit and green leafy vegetables. You could add a natural
probiotic like yogurt/curd to your diet. Regular exercise helps. Too much tea/coffee/soda/alcolhol/spicy food intake can lead to 'acidity & gas' and therefore should be avoided. All of this will take some time to produce results so be a little patient.
Do write in. All the best
