Hi
although there is no concrete evidence that bitter melon can help in craving, but there is no harm in try.
I think, that most important is --
1.-strong will power as well as
2. - support from near one can help you more if you want to quit smoking
And yes it is important for you to quit smoking as this is more harmful for you as you have high BP and lupus both
I find this answer helpful
