Anyone who is a smoker and has tried to quit can tell you that this is a huge task to accomplish but you can do it. Many people every day lay down the habit and never return. Of course many of us who are trying to stop will no doubt go to as many of the ex- smokers that we can and get tips from them on how they quit. Among the tips they will give you will be the old faithful chewing gum or breathe mint technique and although yes it will keep you busy, it won't stop the cravings. Many people will no doubt want a more natural approach to stopping smoking. After all you have spent years putting the harmful chemicals in your body and you don't want to just replace them with other chemicals or the same chemicals at a lower dose. Many of the products to stop smoking will still contain nicotine but it staggered smaller doses to help wean you off the habit. Many people just want to stop the nicotine immediately though and with the abrupt halt of nicotine comes the inevitable anxiety, floods of stress, agitations, along with fatigue, nausea, head ache, and more.
