For one thing it is calming. And it also acts as a diarectic and helps to flush the remaining nicotine out of your system.<br><br>Whatever you do, do not give into temptation.... it takes roughly 2 weeks to clean out your system, and one puff to fill it up again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-107110337665377241.post-41742810451348608442005-09-21T07:33:00.000+01:002005-09-21T07:33:00.000+01:00Well done Hon.

I have to be honest and say that I still do have a couple now and then with a beer in the pub but I feel better and have got loads more money. I'm annoyed but still pleased with myself that I do only have a couple. I saved up the money and have put it towards a new computer. I was after a guitar and still might get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-107110337665377241.post-34744069159776734802005-09-22T08:10:00.000+01:002005-09-22T08:10:00.000+01:00Everyone thank you I do know it makes sense and th...Everyone thank you I do know it makes sense and the cold turkey isn't too bad I'm getting through a lot of extra strong mints (they don't burn very well) but the coughing is already reducing, I'm not coughing through the night any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
