Try drinking half your body weight in ounces of water every day but put some salt in the water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt per gallon or 1/4 teaspoon per quart. Also, stop eating or drinking dairy products and stop drinking anything with caffeine. If you drink orange juice add 1/4 teaspoon of salt per pint of orange juice. This works for me but I add twice the recommended amount of salt.
Try this for a few days and see if it works. if it does, then pick this answer as the best answer if not...
[BTW unprocessed sea salt is preferred but if all you have is table salt it is ok for the short term.]
Sorry, but the only thing you can really do is quit smoking... taking medications such as Mucinex over a long period of time is not a good idea, there have been no studies of long-term effects of those types of medicine.
Your body is telling you that it is ready to quit. You need to listen.
