I am trying to quit smoking even I am using 'Nicotinell' smoking cessation aid bands. It helps me to reduce the tendency but I am not completely out of it. Please advise a good solution to quit smoking completely.

You should understand tht you are tall and heavy and has a greater risk of heart disease. Smoking predisposes you to Clotting and chances of risk of cardiac event in case you continue smoking. Stop it. It requires you to keep away and go through the pain. Imagine you need to live healthy life or suffer lifetime with cardiac/heart event? You visit a iCCU or get admitted to check up and see what is happening and why? for a week. Half measures will not work. You can try antidepressants but ultimately they also affect your heart indirectly increasing weight. You can try Varenicline for 12 weeks and give try.
