This approach is successfully used in the treatment of tobacco (nicotine) dependence (nicotine itself) and opiate dependence (methadone, buprenorphine).

We as psychotherapists can't comment on medication.
Kindly get a thorough body checkup done by an ent specialist
to rule out all possibilities. The ent would prescribe medication accordingly.
