Drink a lot of cranberry juice -- they say it's good at eliminating the nicitione alkaloids from your body -- just accept the fact that the next week or two will be hell but that you can overcome your addiction.

I haven't smoked for 3 years now. Smoking contributed to my health problems. I regret the time I stole my first cigarettes at 14. After 40 years of heavy smoking I managed to quit. So if I could, anyone can if they really want to.

There is no future in smoking and e-cigarettes just inject nicotine into your body exposing you to cardio-vascular illness that is often fatal. Nicotine reduces the 'lumen' or the diameter of your arteries thus your overall blood flow. Nicotine use contributes to calcification (or hardening) of your arteries and is the leading contributor to PAD (peripheral artery disease). PAD makes it painful to walk due to reduced blood circulation because of clotting (stenosis) in narrowed leg arteries or in extreme cases; amputation of your legs.

Think about your life with your legs amputated and in a wheelchair when you get the next nicotine fit ...
