For all the ex smokers out there..

Since having given up the ciggies just over a year ago, I've found that I've been craving other things like fresh fruit (which I've always enjoyed), to things which I never particularly enjoyed prior to quitting such as oily fish. Are these cravings just psychological or is my body telling me that I need these foods. Did anybody else replace their cravings for smokes to craving something else?

i just crave ciggies

yes! i went from fags to fox's glacier mints. What it cost me in ciggies, it cost me double in dentist fee's!!!!

grapes - can`t eat enough grapes

It's likely because your taste buds now work and you are enjoying food and all it's varied flavours.

When I was back in school, I had a few ciggies, but decided to stop, I never got addicted though, I thought this was wierd. To this day I still wonder why I never got addicted.

Well I'm glad it's not just me! I only noticed 'cos I'm spending a fortune on food (though not on fags, which is a good thing). Perhaps I've just got an addictive personality....

you do tend to pack on the pounds once you have quit, instead of going for a fag every hour or so, its food instead

I never had much time for carrots before I stopped, but now have them several times a week. Also lots of fruit like fresh pineapple and melon.

I put on a stone since stopping and am desperately trying to get rid of it.

I love chocolate but have had to force myself not to buy it anymore.

Yes and I suppose one of the positives about eating plenty of fruit is that it makes you 'regualr down below'. When I gave up I had a bad case of the 'farmer Giles', not so now I tend to my fruit addiction

let there be a world with non smokers

Just be thankful you didn't..your a very lucky person.
