Often when i am craving a cig i will find something to distract myself with coursework, tv, music.

sorry i often just give into the urges to smoke and i understand how hard it is when you have no cigs at all

I hope these feelings pass

If you are trying to quit one of the doctors I work with just explained a really excellent way to go about it.

Take the number of cigarettes you smoke in a day, and every couple of days try and smoke 1/2 of a cigarette less. Once you get down to only a couple a day, only smoke 1/2 of a cigarette at a time. As you do this start breaking your habits of what time you smoke. So if you always have a cigarette with your coffee in the morning, switch it up so that you have the cigarette 30 minutes after your coffee or something like that.

The goal is to slowly ween your body off of them so that you don't get cravings as badly.

Hi Hun, first *hugs*. Second, I've just quit smoking, and the best thing I found for helping cravings pass, was breathing deeply. I've also found sucking sweets, going for a walk and playing computer games help immensely! Take care xxx
