It’s been roughly two weeks since I smoked my last cig, the cravings are constant and at times powerful. Now I’ve read in the past cinnamon gum can help when you’re quitting, so I picked up a few packs when I was over my flu and getting back to work.
Crazy thing is, it seems to be working! I think this has less to do with cinnamon per se, and more to do with finding a way of displacing the habitual / ritualistic nature of smoking. When I crave a smoke, I pop a piece of cinnamon gum. Could just as easily be a dog biscuit I guess, but I’m going to stick with the gum for now.
The nicotine is gone from your system really quickly when you stop smoking, the habit is the real killer.
