Herbal smoke
Hi @Lea Lea that sounds really uncomfortable. Even with patches it’s normal to still feel the urge to smoke especially early on. Feeling stressed and a bit off can be part of your body adjusting.
The fact you’re not using tobacco is a strong step forward. Try to take it one moment/day at a time and those feelings should pass (even if it doesn’t feel like it right now).
I think you should be just a bit proud of yourself. It's not easy to give up smoking, and to feel stressed is a normal emotional (and also physical), reaction in response to missing what was once used as a coping mechanism to relax. Using herbal tobacco in place of tobacco with nicotine won't have the exact same effect, but you could find it to be a good enough replacement until you learn other healthier ways to help you stop smoking. Good on you so far. xx
