<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.i doctor i had the habbit of chewing pan and then i quit it completely after nearly 9 months i just started agin and it s again 15-days, i seriously want to quit it, i associated my habit with so many things which i find near and dear if i quit this this will happen...good or bad, i promised on myself, and people close to me and god too...but again i pacify myself in giving excuses...i already spoiled my teeth and underwent treatment and i was so happy when i quit now i re-started and feel so guilty and i really want to kick it out from my life forever... i don t smoke or drink,and dosn t have any other habits...  <response>: If you are having this habit since many years, then suddenly quitting it is not a good idea. It will hamper your mental peace balance, you get depressed at times or become very restless. So first slowly try reducing the no. of pan you eat every day. For e.g. if you eat 3-4 pan per day then for a month make it 2, then next month make it 1, then after few months make it 1 alternative days, then later on cut down to 1 pan in 2 or 3 days. Like this slowly quitting the habit will help you for long term rather than suddenly quitting.
