ABSTRACT

Nicotine and alcohol are highly addictive substances, which make their consumers difficult to get rid of them. These substances are the risk factors for many diseases including stroke, pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases. In Nepal, in spite of measures taken by the government and non-governmental organizations to intervene their consumption, prevalence of these drugs and dependency of people on them are quite high. Introduction and implementation of new and inexpensive technology such as transcranial direct current stimulation can help people get rid of addiction.
