Hello,
It will not cause permanent staining of teeth and more importantly, it may cause oral cancer as well.
You can try nicotine chewing gum or drugs like buspirone. Consult a physician or de-addiction center and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
