    I still attribute my quit to an accidental diet and lung cleanse. I no longer require it to curb cravings. Instead i incorporate the ingredients into my nutrition to maintain their benefits daily.  I truly do believe that the cravings after the nicotine is out of your body are all in the mind.  If you truly wish to never smoke again, theoretically , you should not have a desire to smoke and hence no cravings.   If you secretly "desire "  it even subconsciously,   your subconscious will undermine you.   Most is caused by fear of how to deal with stress without a cigarette in your hand.  What stress do you have?. Write them down. Most of us will find that the stresses we face are about quilt for smoking, worrying about the effects on our health, pressure from doctors and family to quit. So when we quit, we eliminate all that stress.  We no longer require the cigarette as a crutch.. Replace the "habit" with a positive one, knitting, playing and instrument, juggling,  writing, crosswords, exercise etc... and never look back.
