Congratulations on making the best health decision of your life and quitting smoking! This is the time for you to take care if you. I'd like to share with you something that helped me to quit cold turkey. I was a 20 year, 1-2 pack per day smoker. On may 29, 2005, I smoked my last cigarette. I will never take another puff again because I know that one puff will turn into a pack...
Here is my advice
* do not use nicotine replacement in any form- it will only reinforce your addiction
*download a quit tracker and everyday you do not smoke, count the money you save. At the end of one week, spend that money on something for you. How about a manicure since your fingers won't be yellow anymore? Or whiten up your teeth because they too will be free of nicotine and tar stains
*drink egyptian licorice tea - the taste will take the edge off. Licorice flavor is added to some cigarette brands to make the flavor appealing. How else do the tobacco companies hide the 4,000+ chemicals in their products? L
*eat well and embrace your withdrawal for the healing process it is
*do not give in to any urge to smoke, it will make you feel bad and ruin tour quit thereby reinforcing the addiction.
*know that there us something about the 3s -- at 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months, you will find it harder. Stay strong - you ate in charge, not those cigs.
*read and reread the website
WhyQuit - the Internet's leading cold turkey quit smoking resource -- keep reading an get angry.

Congratulations and hugs.
