Quitting Tobacco has been a challenge. Most do not plan to fail, but fail to plan! Planning and preparation is the most important step to being successful.
Any successful tobacco Cessation program has to incorporate these 4 things which I put as ABCD of the ICanCaRe Tobacco Cessation program. And this is the success mantra for achieving 100% success for our patients.

In this, we will give you the detail about 7D of coping with the urge of Tobacco. We will also explain to you to abstain from common trigger points and manage withdrawals.
