I am at 1 month today and have been having trouble the past few days with cravings. What I am craving is the inhalation, the feeling in my lungs. i have tried deep breathing and that doesn't work. Any ideas for this weird craving????

Put some in a cloth and inhale it- deep breaths- especially if you use a favorite aroma- its quite nice- you could also try a nice candle- light it- look at it- inhale the sacent while you deep breath. If all else fails- I spray my fav. perfume on my pillow and lie down and relax breathing it in.

okay, someone suggested this to me the last time i tried to quit, take a straw and suck air thru it like you would have if you were inhaling smoke from a cigarette. it helped me but i like the aromatherapy a lot more.

I found exercise as my #1 crave cutter. I also always have lots of sugar free candy around. It is important to keep a good taste in your mouth as much as you can. Licorice and cinammon seem to work the best.
