When I'm getting ready to start my period I crave cigarettes. I have never ever smoked in my life but I find myself thinking "I really need a cigarette" especially when I'm stressed. Have any of you ever experienced this? It goes away after I start my period. What could be causing this?

Premenstrual syndrome suspected. There is no single cure for PMS.
Many women, however, have found that making changes to their lifestyle can help to control the symptoms.
These include:
* Eating a balanced and nutritious diet
* Eating smaller and more frequent meals
* Reducing the consumption of sugar and salt
* Cutting out alcohol and caffeine
* Taking regular exercise
* Supplementing the diet with vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium and zinc
* Sleeping properly

I have never heard of the cigarettes thing before..i could see maybe if you have smoked before. but how can you crave something you have never had?? that's a new one. I crave red meat sometimes when i have PMS. I believe that's from the loss of iron..but the cigarettes..hmmmm...do you think it could be more like psychological..the stress and wanting something in your mouth??

For you it may be cigarettes, but for me it's usually bitter chocolate... and then BAM! I get my chums a day or two after... :-)
