Tina - if your body is going through nicotine withdrawal there's a homeopathic for that also! Just thought of it. I know there's one in the tubes. The brand looks like it's NU-MEDICINE. The tube for n-withdrawal is yellowy-orange.
My other thought is to make sure your body has the vitamins that help with detoxification. Vitamin C is good. Once again, you can look through books at a natural food store. My "Bible" is "Prescription for Nutritional Healing". I got over my severe chemical sensitivities referring to this great book. It's expensive - I got mine on sale for $20. Around here, most natural food stores carry it & some even have a reference copy. There's a section in the book for smoking dependency. It says "The nutrients suggested are rocommended to correct probably smoking-related deficiencies & damage while you work to kick the habit. I'll list what it suggests. Essential: Coenzyme Q10 200mg twice/day - Aids oxygen flow to the brain; protects heart tissue. Also acts as an antioxidant to protect cells & the lungs. Vitamin C 5,000-20,000mg /day. Important antioxidant that protects against cell damage. Smoking drastically depletes the body of Vitamin C. Vitamin B complex 100mg daily (you can get time-released). Necessary in cellular enzyme systems often damaged in smokers. Use sublingual form if possible (dissolved under the tongue). Increases energy; needed for liver function. Folic acid 400mcg/day (I'm not sure if we can get large dose tablets of folic acid in Canada). Needed for the formation of red blood cells; important for healthy cell division & replication. Vitamin E - start with 200IU/day & increase by 200IU each month up to 800 IU daily. One of the most important antioxidants, needed to protect cells & organs from damage by the smoke.
It goes on to list "Very Important" and "Helpful".

Good luck, Kath
