If you want to quit smoking then you can definitely do it. It is important not to give in to craving while you are trying to quit. There will be intense craving which may not last for very long. If you can distract yourself by doing some exercise or yoga or any activity when craving is there, just after couple of mins the craving will go and you can then pat your back for not smoking. You can get in touch with a tobacco cessation clinic and seek their help if required.

You must have abruptly given up your smoking and pain in your lungs is symptom of Body Craving for the same. I suggest that you have to go for smoking cessation therapy where you let go of the craving of nicotine gradually and building your immunity rather than abruptly giving up. Probability of you going back to smoking increases and you may start smoking again in near future. Also I would suggest that you meet a pulmonologist if pain increases in your lungs.

Take sauna bath for 5 days. This is because it helps to release the nicotine along with the perspiration that happens during taking it. So the craving for smoking is reduced. Later, inform me after 2 weeks the changes.

The changes smoking can bring about are usually gradual and hence we tend to overlook. A peek into the effects of smoking on your skin may curb your urge to smoke henceforth.
