well think about the reason why you smoked-comfort reason then you change the smoking for food then you gain weight the thing is to find out the philology reason behind your smoking and find something different to feed that reason. You need to eat like you are on welliness diet and do so other activities to take over the reason for your smoking—as for putting your weight to normal that may never happen

First of all you are not a fatty, don’t do yourself down you have just quit smoking so you should be proud of yourself, I put on half a stone when I quit last year but have got it back off as well as another two stones, try to eat more fruit and veg as snacks just for a good few weeks until your cravings go away, good luck and keep up the good work.

I feel 4 U…you are right now at a very vulnerable stage, but don’t give up new…U already suffered for to many days…if you start giving up something(like smokes) U gotta start something new(instead) smoked…like..try micro brewery beer…or try foods from different countries…try to get real fanatic about it..work on a muscle car with the guys…U gotta reward yourself for being good…buy something U always had wanted and play with it..(electronics) if U give up something U love…U gotta add something else instead..

It’s different for everybody. i quit with no withdrawals. My husband was in hell for several months. A friend of mine managed to quit in a few weeks. It takes serious commitment, but if you have tried, then you know why you have to quit.

If you can get Nicorrette, or some other form of nicotine, it helps. That way, you withdraw from the cigarette, and then work on ingesting less of the nicotine.

Herbs that might help are Valerian and Skullcap, both of which are sedatives. You can try Yoga as a way to calm the cravings.

The main thing that is really going to get you through this is your own determination. I don’t know you, but I’m rooting for you. And if you backslide, don’t just decide that you are a failure. Try again. Your life and your lungs are worth the effort.

If you saw a pregnant woman walking into an abortion clinic, would you slap her and try to stop her from aborting her baby? Probably not. Same goes for the smoking. While it’s not right, it IS her body and her baby, and she can make her own choices.

2 stone in 8 months,but ive kept up the not smoking.

Now I’ve dealt with that,I will now deal with the weight,its too hard to do both at once,I would rather be a bit overweight than smoke, its easier to diet than give up ciggies.

It takes approximately 28 days for your body to completely rid itself of the nicotine and the cravings to stop. After that any cravings/withdrawals that you have are purely psychological. This would also vary depending on how long you’ve been a smoker and how much you smoked. Try this website:

It’s very helpful and should answer any and all questions you may have as well as some helpful hints. There’s also links to other websites that offer the same.

Both times mine lasted about 2 weeks physically. But the mental will always appear every now and then. Stay strong, its worth it. When you realize how much better you feel, it makes it easier to say no.

Oh, health food stores also sell drops that are supposed to help rid your system of the nicotine. Though I don’t know if they really work. I used it the first time, but not the second.

Good Luck!
