I'm here

[nsd_user663_1927]

So I've got to day3. But today I suddenly feel like I've got a horrible head cold coming. Don't know whether its giving up or just got a cold. Still on the chewing gum.

Thanks for your support everyone.

BTW Buffy, I'm not using vasaline (s/p) but have started applying lip gloss everytime I have a craving.

Hiya Pips x x x x

Lip gloss yes! that is the method i meant for the vaseline! hehehehe

The cold / flu symptoms are very common in quitting, your body cannot expel all the chemicals and tar on your lungs whilst you are continuing to smoke and build on the layer.

After approximately 48 hours the body realises that no more is coming and it starts to repair the damage by expelling that horrible gunk!! it's effectively the same as a cold/cough.

Keep drinking water to help you through the process, warm water at night will help too, if you like a herb tea all the better. I like a peppermint tea at night

Keep strong and hold your head high ~ You smell fresher now
