                         Phase 
                          3: Now youre ready to reduce your nicotine 
                          load. Every week, change to a brand that contains less 
                          nicotine until you reach one that contains no more than 
                          2 mg. Once youve done this, reduce to 5 cigarettes/day. 
                          Whenever you feel a craving, have a apple or a pear 
                          to balance your blood sugar (thats what your cigarette 
                          was doing). Regular exercise also helps, so start jogging 
                          or join your local gym. 
                        Phase 
                          4: You can quit now! Tell all your family, friends 
                          and colleagues to get their support. Your healthy diet 
                          and nutritional programme is most vital during this 
                          last month. The withdrawal symptoms you may feel are 
                          fatigue and irritability because there is no more nicotine 
                          stimulating your adrenal glands and brain chemistry. 
                          Assuming you have followed all the above steps, these 
                          will last no longer than a week. Congratulations!!!
