I quit 3 weeks ago with a new prescription medication called "Chantix". It works by blocking the nicotine receptors in the brain. It is truly amazing; after just two days of taking it, I had almost no desire to smoke. By the fourth day, the pangs were hardly noticible and passed within seconds. I can even be around people who are smoking and I have zero desire to join in. It truly is a miracle, and I smoked a pack a day.

I know this may sound weird, but Bananas can help people trying to give up smoking. The B-6 and B-12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Potassium is a vital mineral which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
So try eating some bananas :)
Some of the addiction is oral and normalacy... when you normally have cigarettes, that's when you crave them... one of my friends would always have a ballpoint pen with her ... she would hold it in her hand like she would when she was a smoker... and if she had the oral craving, she would chew on the pen... sounds weird, but worked for her :)

My husband quit with a combination of Zyban & the patch 2 years ago and has not smoked since. He said the Zyban was the most helpful of the two.

Belive it or not my Mom after 45 years of smoking went to a hypnotist and she's never smoked again.
