Vit. C, Magnesium: Congratulations on stopping smoking! my favorite remedy for this situation is high doses of vitamin c. Get a buffered vitamin c powder and take about 3000 mg every hour and within a few hours you should have results. You could also take milk of magnesia- this is safe and effective and will also give results within 4-6 hours or so.

Hydrate: Even though you're not comfortable, congrats for stopping smoking! you need to drink fluids, water and juice. Consider an over the counter gentle suppository (ask pharmacist). Also be active!
