A Stratford pulmonologist recommends smokers looking to quit the habit reach out for help.

Dr. J.D. Sidana says quitting is not easy, but there are different ways to get help. Sidana recommends medication like Chantix to help reduce cigarette cravings. He says the medication can also help end the physical addiction.
