Hello sunita,
Welcome to HCM.
I agree with you that tobacco chewing is difficult to quit.
But there are some ways which will help you to quit:
There are some nicotine pastilles (niclonz, quitsure) available. These are just like simple toffee. Whenever you have craving for gutka, just keep one pastille at side of your mouth. Do not break and bite it. Just suck it slowly. Do not take more than 15 pastilles in a day.
You can also keep fennel seeds in place of tobacco in your mouth.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
