Well done on trying to give up smoking. It's a tough battle to fight. Rememebr to take a good quality vitamin C supplement to replenish your body.

There are natural products to help with various aspects of quitting smoking. Some help with the cravings and others with the withdrawal side effects. I have listed some of the more popular ones below.

• Smoke Deter is a blend of natural ingredients formulated into an easy to use spray. It's supposed to help with the withdrawal symptoms that come with stopping smoking.
  
  
  
• If you would prefer natural remedies to try then homeopathic medicines have helped some people get through the withdrawal symptoms and help balance the body again. Get More Info on Triple Complex NicoTonic Tissue Salts for Withdrawal from Nicotine and Addictive Drugs

the truth

I decided 13 days ago to give up smoking with the aid of nicotine patches, as per usual cold turkey was a no no. Too hard, no confidence. So I gave up with patches, then I started reading all the different things on the internet about giving up smoking, and all the different things to help. But what came up time and time again as the best way was COLD TURKEY even though it seemed more intense. I thought I will give it a go so I removed my patch on day 9 - hell it was hard for 3 days but now on day 4 and feel so much better. It was worth the 3 days of intensive withdrawal . With the patch you still have that day to come it cant be avoided, best to do it sooner than later whilst your still determind. Take my word it's worth it - have a go on your own YOU CAN DO IT I DID. Good luck, Elaine
