How to cope with nicotine cravings? Here are some of the ways you can help kick your nicotine cravings!
In this blog we will take a look at some helpful ways to kick your nicotine cravings. Also we will examine how you may be harming your own smoke free journey by cutting out nicotine straight away.
Vaping is one of the best ways to quit smoking.
It provides a similar sensation to cigarettes but is 95% safer. Having an e-cig will be important in your smoke free journey especially when trying to kick your nicotine cravings. When you feel like you really need a smoke just grab your e-cigarette to deliver enough nicotine to get over your craving.
Even starting off with a disposable vape kit is one of the easiest ways to switch. Popular disposables such as the Woomi vape require no setup, simply pick up and vape. It is also a much cheaper initial investment than going straight into a advanced mod kit.
E-liquid comes in a variety of nicotine strengths. No matter how many cigarettes you go through in a day there will be a e-liquid strength to suit your nicotine requirements. One 10ml bottle should provide enough nicotine for a full day of vaping. Once you have found the right strength take time to get used to vaping. When you feel ready, start to gradually decrease the nicotine strength of your e-liquid. How long this will take will differ as some may be able to lower their nicotine requirements quickly whereas other it may take longer.
Heavy smokers should start with a high strength such as 20mg. Once comfortable switch to a 18mg and continue to lower the strength as you get used to it. Try to stick to just one 10ml bottle a day as using anymore will increase your nicotine intake.
Nicotine replacement therapy is available in a variety of formats. These include patches, gum, tablets and more. NRT provides a small amount of nicotine to help reduce withdrawal symptoms. These can be purchased at pharmacies and can also be prescribed by your doctor or through the NHS stop smoking service.
If you require a quick fix chewing gum is the best NRT as it is fast acting and will almost immediately help tackle your cravings. Patches are designed to provide nicotine slowly throughout the day. The NHS[1] recommends using NRT for 8-12 weeks before reducing the dose slowly over time until you no longer need it.
Medicine such as Varenicline is used to reduce cravings while also limiting the sensations of smoking. This is seen as one of the best ways to quit smoking as it helps to reduce the need for nicotine and other effects of using cigarettes. Treatment using this medicine lasts for 12 weeks but can be extended if needed.
Try to avoid being around people smoking. Naturally being in a position where you would normally have a cigarette will trigger your body into thinking you need to smoke.
Although it may not feel like it at the time, when you get the urge to smoke do not grab a cigarette because in the long run you will feel better for it. Nicotine alternatives are useful and will assist in quitting but to get rid of your cravings you’ll need to stay strong and not become solely dependant on them.
Exercise is a great way to reduce nicotine cravings. Firstly it will distract you from the thought of smoking. It is also a good stress reliever so when the cravings do hit it can help to limit mood swings. But overall, exercise has a number of health benefits that will help your smoke free journey.
Cutting nicotine out of your life straight away is one of the hardest ways to quit. This is because it will be extremely challenging to go from a high amount of nicotine to zero immediately. In many cases it also leads to people going straight back to cigarettes when craving nicotine as they haven’t experienced alternative replacements.
There is no set time as to how long it will take for your nicotine cravings to stop. A number of factors come into play such as your nicotine intake and the method you use to quit. As previously mentioned the NHS suggest people using nicotine replacements should start to lower their intake after 12 weeks.
