Hi @TAB,
i just want to applaud you for giving cigarettes the boot.
It has to be one of the hardest things I ever did in my life, but definitely the most rewarding. You’ll be breathing a lot easier soon and your food will taste better too.
I just wanted to share my experience if it could help you a bit at this difficult time.
I found I needed to replace one habit with another initially & turned to my favourite flavoured lollipops to suck on when cravings arised.
Sounds silly but it worked for me 😉
Never give up, trying to give up!!
