There’s basically two types of nicotine withdrawal symptoms. The first ones are the physical withdrawal symptoms and the second ones are the mental withdrawal symptoms. Let’s first have a look at the physical withdrawal symptoms. The physical withdrawal symptoms usually start a few hours after the last cigarette. Many people are afraid of them, but as a matter of fact, those symptoms are really harmless, many smokers are not even able to really feel them. Nobody can tell you exactly how they will manifestate, but in most cases you will feel some of the following symptoms:

There’s some more, but most people do not feel more than the sickness and the headache. Physical withdrawal symptoms do not last longer than 3 weeks, in many cases they are gone after a few days, and in some cases they don’t even occur.
The other type oof withdrawal symptoms are the mental symptoms. To bring it to the point: Nicotine has changed your brain. As a result of this process, you brain thinks, it requires nicotine.
| The symptoms are usually a lack of concentrations, as well as the well known urge to smoke a cigarette. This is due to the imbalance in your brain. Nicotine makes your brain produce much more dopamine and serotonine than non-smokers have. Keeping this state over years, your brain will remember this state and it will feel that something is missing when you try to stop. Unfortunately this is something that can last for months, in some cases even for years. The best way to shorten it is to try to remove everything in your life that your brain can associate with smoking, such as ashtrays and lighters. As soon as your brain sees something, that can be associated with smoking, it will let you know, and it will make you feel the urge to smoke. If you truckle to it you will very soon go on smoking just like before – this is called "addiction memory". |
Removing everything from your life, that can remind you of smoking is the best way to disable your addiction memory. Ways to do so are for example the removement of ashtrays and lighters. You can also avoid several places, that you usually went to when you smoked. Try to avoid places where people smoke. Try to avoid smoking people as well and in situations in which you would usually smoke, like for example during breaks at work, go somewhere else and try to do something different that has nothing to do with smoking.
