  1. It is good to see discussion alive on the root cause of starting tobacco – exposure to addiction and conducive factors to keep addictions alive. evaluation of root cause will help find customized care for individuals- however, the team ICancare providing long hand holding in quitting- doing regular follow-ups, and chasing patients to feel loved- is a marvelous job. Adding spiritual practices, Yoga, and mindfulness meditation will certainly add value to support extended to patients.
