So I have given up smoking for nearly 48 hours and i'm struggling somewhat. Can anyone give me some little tips to help me pull through?
My house mates all smoke and I think thats why I'm finding it hard. I'm drinking lots of water, coffee, and stuffs that will try to make me feel more sprightly. But at the moment I just want to gnaw on someones arm.
Thank you's....

Thanks for replying! It's a good idea that. I will get some polos or something. Drinking is the hard part as I always fancy a Cigarette when I have a glass of wine. I am giving up cold turkey aas it was a very snap decision on Sunday.
I don't want to be a smoker anymore so fingers and toes crossed. How long have you been a non smoker?
Hi Roboots, and well done for getting into Day 2 As you are going cold turkey the nicotine will be out of your system within 48-72 hours, so that is why your cravings are stronger now as the withdrawal is peaking. But once the nicotine is out of your body it will get better quite quickly, trust me.
Meanwhile, go and gnaw on someone's arm.... erm.... no I didn't mean that Keep drinking plenty of water, and try some frozen grapes, something nice to put in your mouth.
Best of luck to you.hope you have some smoke free space in your house otherwise your breathing in smoke, i would personally find that to tempting. But yes it does get a lot easier and the damage from smoking just builds up until one day bang you have a smoking related srious illness , well i did anyway, never thoiught i would. been stopped for nearly 6 weeks now and im so glad i have the freedom is awesome.
after all the good advice you already have had i just thought i would share mine.
sucking on fishermans friends (like nrt tabs), or other strong cough sweets you can only have a few at a time due to strength so wont give you the runs lol.
i find its helped also knowing how disgusting it would be to have a ciggie afterwards
I loved the Salmiak Pastilles in the first weeks...now that is not to everyones taste, but really helped me, even more then the fisherman's.....I run out of them and I can't seem to find the ones I got in Germany.
I might try the Salimiak Diamonds...they look simiar.
