♥♥YahooCrazy♥♥	I never smoked and probably never will, but they make smoking patches now for quitters. Also, I suggest chewing gum with low or no sugar, drinking plenty of water, and resting.

teacherman	It will pass. If you're strong enough, you'll be extremely happy with yourself in about a year.

smithyvh	when i gave up i felt like killing someone for about a month, i would get so angry and annoyed by the slightest things.

clarity	It's withdrawal. The best thing you can do right now is focus on the amount of time you've gone without a cigarette and be proud of yourself. Do it day by day. Once more time has gone by, it'll be a matter of pride that you don't backslide. The yucky feelings will pass and your skin will start to look better, clearer. That's because smoking causes your pores to open more to give your body oxygen. Once smoking is stopped, those pores get smaller and you look healthier, too. Imagine what's going on with the rest of your body! Keep going...you're doing fine! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

The program can be found here to do that http://www.silkquit.org/sqmmiv/meter.aspx Stick with it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kira s	depends on how much u smoked? if u smoked out of habit its really hard to break cuz ur used to doing it. take up a hobby that u can do when u would usually be smoking such as knitting, i know it sounds realy strange but something that replaces the habit makes you want it less Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pam_samderson	just try to find something to occupy yourself, i was lucky i gave up 9 weeks ago now and havent really felt bad at all, had no cravings or anything but i think thats because i didnt put too much thought into it, just ran out of cigarettes and didnt buy anymore. you will feel better! guaranteed! well done for making the first steps, they are the hardest, keep going it will be worth it! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nicola Redpath	It's withdrawal symptoms your experiencing babes. There's not much you can really do about other than if you begin having cravings for cigs then I suggest chewing gum and keeping your hands busy, that way the craving will pass in no time and it will get easier. Keep with it.x Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gavin T	I think that might be your body getting rid of the stuff in your lungs, plus the fact that your body will be craving cigarettes.Hopefully it will pass soon. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

peter gunn	My first days of quitting smoking were really tough. Although I had a very good stimulus to quit. i'm actually allergic to nicotin and I causes my heart to behave irratically. But that aside a good tip is to have something in your mouth that takes your mind off cigarettes (a lot of the actual addiction to smoking has to do with the daily habits of lighting and sticking it in your mouth) such as lollies or what really worked for me liquorice wood.
