Plan activities during the first couple of weeks to take your mind off smoking. It will be easier to quit if you keep yourself busy. If you are a regular smoker, your body has gotten used to having nicotine and other chemicals around all the time. You will probably feel some symptoms of withdrawal when you stop smoking. This means that you may crave cigarettes, or you might just feel uncomfortable or nervous.
Many people mistake nicotine craving for hunger.
You need to listen to your body, so you won't eat when you're not actually hungry. Do something to keep yourself busy. If you must eat, snack on something healthy like carrots or celery. Within a week or two, the nicotine craving will go away and you will feel more normal. In the beginning you also might feel frustrated, moody, or depressed.
