    		There are ways to cope with nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Experts refer to these as the five D's

    Delay until the urge passes - usually within 3-5 minutes
    Distract yourself, call a friend or go for a walk.
    Drink water to fight off cravings
    Deep Breaths - Relax! Close your eyes and take 10 slow, deep breaths
    Discuss your feelings with someone close to you
