Nicotine replacement is just puttin off the inevitable slowly so it makes sense that you're still feeling like you just quit. I quit cold turkey and felt like I was dying for about a week or two than all the fun side affects cropped up than after about 3 months I started to feel "NORMAL" if you can use that word in the same sentence and still be describing me. When you think about it smoking speeds up your metabolism among many other things so the fact that you put on weight is to be expected I mean isn't it one of the reasons most women are afraid to quit in the first place??? Please keep track of the sodium in your food, eat much more fruits and veggies, fiber, than you normally do, drink more water than you think you should, walk every oportunity that you get, and soon you'll be straightened out it just takes some patience considering how many years we've been abusing our lungs it's no wondering it takes a while getting back to normal.
