Nicotine is a powerful stimulant. So going off it can create fatigue until you have time to reset the system over a few weeks. Hang in there.

 :secret; If you can, try a cinnamon stick.

While some are unable to, I did use a licorice stick.

Of course that great solvent 'WATER',    :boxing;

Don't fight it, agree, to 'not smoke' for the next ten minutes only. Then REPEAT. Then REPEAT. Then REPEAT. Then REPEAT.
is a bit of magic in this process, that quells the insistent delightful urge to light up.
Is rare for any non-smoker to really understand how powerful the 'light up' urge can get.
Like me , you need to find the right combination, and pow, all done.
Yes, you will succeed.

health wise i could be better lol apparently cold turkey quitting is no good for me, so im technically still smoking, i have 1-2 a day, just so i dont have the damn nasty withdrawl symptoms right now... im dealing with severe RA flair ups, my darn graft is bruised horribly, due to my clinic not knowing what the heck they are doing... but im still determined to be smoke free by my appointment time.

how are you?

I quit for a whole year.

Unfortunately I started again, up to a little over a half pack daily.

I'm such a s#1t.

I hope those RA flare ups are a lot less now, and 1-2 ciggies a day is pretty good, when you feel up to it you just swap them for 1-2 eciggies, and you'll be a 100% ex-smoker!!
I only smoke real ciggies when I'm on holiday, or when there's cannabis in it, so I've sort of stopped.
