15. yep

at least thats what it says in the nicotine anonymous literature, every 20 mins.. yep the water thing really helps

actually there are some tools to deal with the cravings.. the 5d's work well early on.. 5 little ways to beat a craving

1.. distract.. (do something else) for instance maybe wash dishes, ever try to smoke with wet hands..

2.. delay..(i dont need one now).. put if off for 5 mins , then another period, and yet another.. continued delays = a quit

3.. discuss if a member of a support groupcall someone, or post to the internet

4.. deep breathe.. most smokers have to learn to breathe deeply again, often the only time we did soo was inhaling smoke

5.. drink water.. it flushes toxins, and relieves cravings..

sorry bout typing spelling folks.. i am dyslexic and looking forward tothe spell checker working on DU3
