30.j. Cream of Tartar
A few of us (myself included) saw this remedy presented on some breakfast
television-type show, and one poster shared his experience:

"Well, I am getting ready to quit ... I have been using the cream of tarter
for a few days now. What you do is take 1/2 teaspoon in a glass of orange
juice, and it pulls the nicotine out of your system. You might sweat it out
at night or urinate more. You can buy cream of tarter at the grocery store
at the cooking spices. Cream of tarter is used to make meringues have more
holding power and also is a component of baking powder (if I remember
correctly). It is natural, as it is the dried powder of the remnants left
in wine vats, from grapes. The idea is to smoke only when you actually
crave ... not habit but craving. As you do this each day, you crave less
and less as more and more nicotine has left your body. The eventual idea is
to work your nicotine level to a tolerable and controllable level, that you
can then quit completely. Without the terrible full strength withdrawal. I
recommend it. It is an inexpensive way that might work for some. I would be
interested in hearing from those that try it. My neighbors tried it with
some success, however, they did not want to quit smoking at the time. They
did, however, notice a difference."
