Doctor gives advice on how to quit smoking.

Accordingly, doctors advise long-term smokers to absolutely avoid quitting abruptly. Cutting nicotine too quickly can trigger "withdrawal syndrome," leading to sudden increases in blood pressure and metabolic disorders (such as rapid weight gain, obesity, and increased risk of diabetes). Therefore, the body and cardiovascular system need a gradual adaptation process to ensure safety.

To ensure effective and safe smoking cessation, doctors guide patients to follow a gradual reduction plan combined with lifestyle tips. First, reduce the quantity: If you are currently smoking one pack per day, proactively reduce it to 4-5 cigarettes per day (or extend one pack to 2-3 days). The goal over the next three months is to reduce the quantity to a maximum of 3 cigarettes per day before quitting completely.

Doctors offer tips for breaking the smoking habit: Smokers should proactively switch to smaller cigarettes to reduce nicotine intake. Whenever cravings arise, they should only take a few puffs and then put the cigarette away to increase the time between smoking sessions. Especially for those who smoke to concentrate on work, they should replace it with another healthy activity. When feeling the urge to smoke, suck on a mild candy or chew gum. This helps relieve stress and trick the body's senses, making it easier to overcome the craving.

Doctors advise smokers that consistently reducing their smoke intake little by little is a safe and effective way to comprehensively protect both their respiratory and digestive systems.
