There are a lot of ways to quit smoking, user a quit smoking product or not, and it also depends on how long you’ve been smoking. The best ways are slowly lowering your dose (takes a long time sometimes), or going cold turkey (which is faster, but harder). Either way, the last thing is making the decision to quit, so you’ll eventually have to deal with the withdrawal.
For the most part, when you deal with withdrawal, you’ll just have to tough it out, but there are some things that can help cleanse out the toxins and may help to minimize some of the effects of withdrawal…
Drinking water will help to detox, and taking some supplements that work as cleansers may help as well. Specifically, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (decaffeinated), Chlorophyll (fantastic cleanser), and even good amounts of fiber and water helps some people (although it’s not very comfortable for the lower level of detoxification you get).
All that being said, it’s likely that the symptoms should stop relatively shortly after your last pill (it’s never as long as it feels like it is). Your neurotransmitters don’t take too terribly long to scream for something they are addicted to after you stop.
Another important thing to note is that no matter how bad it gets, taking more of the drug (and yes, nicotine is a drug) will only make the withdrawal last longer and will be harder on you in the long run. Good luck, and congrats again!

Hypnosis and Behavorial Therapy works great..But you have to completely change your life..If you have a cig with your morning coffee, quit drinking coffee..If you have to find nonsmoker friends as well..People say that when they are stressed that they need a cigarette..Doesn't make sense, since nicotine is a stimulant…Believe it or not, it's not the cigarette that relaxes you, it's the deep breathing that you do that gives you the calming effect.. When your stressed, don't forget to take nice soothing breaths from your diaphragm, not your chest..When you breath, make sure your stomach moves up and down…No breathe, no life…One more thing, if you go to party's and bars and drink, that's a social trigger, so i would eliminate that for a while…Best of luck!!!

I have tried several remedies not mentioned in your other responses. One is chewing on licorice and the other is drinking peppermint tea. Sadly neither one has worked for me. My friend was diagnosed with cancer and the dr. put her on Welbutrin (spelling?) and she was able to quit and believes it was the drug. Maybe, or the fear of dying, I don't know. I wish you luck, in years past I was able to quit for ten years cold turkey and it wasn't a problem, it sure is now! Good Luck!
