Controlling Cravings 

Cravings and other nicotine withdrawal symptoms don’t have to be your downfall. You can learn to deal with them.

When you quit, one of the first things you may notice is a craving for a cigarette. It’s actually the nicotine you crave, because your body has come to depend on a steady supply of it from cigarettes.

Each craving will pass even though it may feel like it’s taking an eternity. Don’t worry, you won’t have to put up with them forever, but they’re a nuisance while they’re around. If you can teach yourself to control cravings and other withdrawal symptoms, you’ll be less tempted to smoke.
