It is easy to quit smoking if you know the dangers of tobacco. There are following two important factors in quitting smoking which can double (even more) your chances of successful quitting:-


1. Counselling

2. Medication


According to the World Health Organization (WHO), presently there are only 23 countries that are providing services of comprehensive cessation with partial or full-coverage to assist tobacco users in quitting. Sadly, it is the only 32% representation of the overall world’s population.

It has been proved in various studies that only a few people know the health risks associated with tobacco including heart disease, stroke and lung cancer. It is a very interesting fact that there is an up to 30% increase in quitting due to brief advice given by the health professionals. Whereas, approximately 84% increase in quitting has been noted in the case of intensive advice.

What happened to Andy?


Andy was very scared due to the thought of having to quit and give up his friend. They were with him in times of need. Tobacco interfered with him being everything; a parent, a partner, an employee and it was taking its toll on him and his body physically.


It made him realize how important he was to his family and he realized he got to get his act together. He tried quitting smoking three times until he was successful on his fourth attempt.


The first time after quitting smoking, he took his kids to a restaurant. They were sitting at the table and all of a sudden, he realized he could have a cigarette. But with proper counselling and medication in the fourth attempt, he got rid of smoking.

About Dr. Viveck Baluja and KneeTie Vascular Neurology

Dr. Viveck Baluja, MD, is a board-certified vascular neurologist (American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology — Vascular Neurology) practicing telemedicine across California, Michigan, and Colorado, with additional consultation services available to international families, particularly in India.

KneeTie offers three focused services: emergency stroke second opinions delivered within 24 hours, traumatic brain injury (TBI) consultations for survivors and caregivers, and same-day adult ADHD evaluations for residents of CA, MI, and CO.

Stroke Second Opinion

After a stroke, families often have minutes to make decisions. Dr. Baluja provides a second set of expert eyes from a board-certified vascular neurologist — reviewing imaging, hospital records, and current treatment — typically within 24 hours of request. Common questions include: Was tPA appropriate? Should we pursue thrombectomy? What is the recovery outlook? What rehabilitation makes sense?

TBI Consultation

Traumatic brain injury recovery is rarely linear. Dr. Baluja helps patients and families understand recovery timelines, treatment options, post-concussion syndrome, and red flags that warrant emergency evaluation. Consultations typically last 50 minutes and are scheduled within the same week.

Same-Day Adult ADHD Evaluation

A real evaluation by a board-certified neurologist — not a 7-minute screening. Dr. Baluja's ADHD evaluations include comprehensive history, sleep and lifestyle assessment, and behavioral strategy alongside any medication discussion. Available same-day for residents of California, Michigan, and Colorado.

Why a Vascular Neurologist?

Vascular neurology is a subspecialty focused on stroke, cerebrovascular disease, and brain blood flow — among the rarest neurology subspecialties in the U.S. Most online telehealth services use general practitioners or nurse practitioners. KneeTie is led by a board-certified vascular neurologist with full state licensure and HIPAA-compliant telehealth infrastructure.

Schedule a consultation: Use the booking calendar above to choose a service and reserve a time. For active stroke or post-tPA emergencies, email gorungo@kneetie.com directly with "URGENT" in the subject line.
