I'm a chain smoker, I used to smoke 10 to 20 sticks everyday before. Recently I decided to quit from smoking for this year for a good change. It was a sudden decision I made for myself because I used to plan to quit smoking but I never did. It's not that easy together with the smoke buddy but I have to let got from some point as I met someone who inspires me a lot. Since Jan. 1 until now I never smoke BUT I was really tempted to at least have 1 puff or one stick. I even dreamed at night that I was smoking not to exaggerate things to divert my cravings I searched some tips and cause of smoking but then again my saliva still longing for nicotine... a cigarette... Can you give me some tips or something to get rid of my cravings? How can I fight my cravings?Is it normal that I experienced most of the time a little chest pain and headache which I didn't experience when I was smoking before?

I quit smoking about 4 years ago for economic reasons. I`m fatalist as health goes and I did not much care about the dangers of smoking. I was right, by the way. I was diagnosed a lymphoma (nothing to do with smoking) 2 years ago. A scan showed a small emphysema. The doctor told me about it laughing. I answered she should take care of my cancer and then, later, we`d worry about my lungs. But I don`t think that I can smoke one again in my entire life. I did that once and was "clean" for 4 years. I got involved in stressing work and accepted a single ciggie. The next week I was smoking as before.
When I quit this time, I ate so many sweets that I have 20 extra pounds. So don`t use eatables. This person who inspires you might be a good reason to stay not smoking. I hope he does.
