Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You will want a directed question to me for particular details. Cannot say in your particular case, but generally,

1) It is hard with only a 25% success rate; mine is double that.
2) Nicotine replacement is the most effective single thing to help (patches, gum, etc.)

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
