That-s not the nicotine addiction - that the crap chemical addiction. Nicotine is addicting, but not half as much as the stuff they put into smoky treats to keep you tossing down your Lincolns. Bear with it, drink lots of water. Breathe. Breathe intentionally and deeply. You can do it.
Your body is used to you smoking everyday so now its going to be hard for it to get used to you not smoking.
Have U ever heard of -WITHDRAWLS- Nicotine is highly addictive, and the lack of it will cause withdrawal symptoms, such as you-ve described.
Hi Ramona,
I think cuting down too much or too fast can be a problem.
Try to just cut back one cigarette the first day, cut back two the next day and so on, or just smoke a half at a time and the other half later, that way your body does not feel a too big of a change at once and you are smoking less at the same time too :)
My wife had the same issue before she had quit smoking.
She smoked for over 10 years and when she found out that she was preagnant with our now newborn 3 months old daughter, she had promised me that if I found a good solution for quitting, she will try her best to kick the habit.
Well in my spare time I started researching online for quit smoking programs, meanwhile she was trying out patches and gums that you can buy at grocery stores and adventually they would not work for her.
After about a week of researching I had stumbled over a website that really impressed me on what they had to offer and that they actually say that they almost guarantee your success, and most importantly that you can try it out for free.
The company has been around for over 20 years now and they have helped over a million smokers quit since and their kit has everything that you possibly need to help you quit smoking, I thought WoW that is impressive.
I went ahead and ordered the free trial for my wife (only paid for shipping) and she has quit smoking in just two weeks and she doesn-t want to hear about or smell another cigarette again in her life :)
Now it is up to you, but since my wife has quit, I was so happy about her success, so much so that I had built a small review site of the product to also help other people quit, you can check it out at;

Thanks for reading my short story, I hope it helps, good luck and stay healthy.
