OT Venkie
Your brain will try to tell you that one won't hurt.
Don't listen!!! If you have one its like starting all
over again. Chew some Juicy Fruit, go for a walk.
If it gets really bad, go to sleep. It doesn't hurt when your sleeping.
Most important. Don't listen to your brain!! Its lying (about that cigarette)
Good luck

Donnie, a friend of mine was prescribed this little nicotine puffer, it made quitting easy. It looks like a little spray breath freshener. When you get a terrible craving, you spritz. There's a limit to how often you can use it, but he found he only needed it once or twice a day...and quitting was painless.

Venkie, I quit two years ago and got through the withdrawal by using four to five Skoal bandits, little tobacco pouchces, which you can hold in between your gums and jaw for half an hour when the craving strikes. Works on the same prindipal as the nicoteen patch. Helped me immesuranbly. SO if you have to relapse, relapse to the smokeless tobacco, which is far, far less dangerous than inhaling carcinogens into your lungs. FOr info go to the "For Smokers Only" home page on the web. I never have any cravings. I do use two or three Bandits a day, after meals or after cocktails but i have ZERO, I repeat ZERO desire for a cigarette. Also get carrots and chew them, and I got a squeezable rubber iso-exerciser to have something to do with my hands.
hang in there.
