1939bear - I have a first time, NO SLIP, cold turkey quit, so please know the truth before making a statement about the lack of success with quits like mine, friend!
Mel - I had the same headache - and I found that full body massages and a myriad of de-stressing exercises supported me untii the pain went away... I do know the pain, dear one, just hold on tight! Smoking will not help...
I am living proof that a first time, cold turkey quit with no slips IS more than possible BUT hold on tight, and no smoking! Stay close to this site and read, read, read...
Lots of catnaps, hot baths with lavender essential oil and a cup of apple cider vinegar, peppermint essential oil on the temples is amazing for a headache, meditating and yoga will help... There is a wonderful headache kit at bath and body, that I love... You can also find some wonderful herbal neck wraps and head wraps at Marshall's and TJ Max... they help a great deal, too.
Love and Gentle Blessings, you can do this...
