I'd like to stop in a group setting. Call the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, or local hospitals. Most people stop without the help of a formal group. Trained counselors are also available at this number to answer questions about stopping and to provide written materials. You should enlist the support of family, friends, and co-workers.
Some people relieve cravings by chewing gum, sucking on a cinnamon stick, or eating a carrot stick.
Cravings for cigarettes are a normal part of withdrawal. Most cravings last for only a few minutes and then subside. Use nicotine gum, if prescribed. When I don't smoke, I feel restless, and I can't concentrate. These are normal symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
