I use to suck on Root Beer Barrel candies my pharmacists recommended them for some reason they helped me with the nausea I was feeling . Mostly deep breathes as a craving only really lasts a few seconds and just seems longer. I've been off the cigs for almost 3 yrs now and I have to say it does get ALOT easier but I still get a craving out of nowhere some times. Keep up the great work it's really worth it. Congrats on the baby!!!

Hi! I quit 18 months ago and found that drinking loads of water when I got a craving really helped. Must help to flush out all the bad chemicals etc. And, I sucked on starlite mints to take my mind off the craving. After all this time I still get a craving once in a while too. But, I feel 100% better now and sure am proud of myself for hanging in there. Keep up the good work - I'll be pulling for you!!!!!!!!!
