nicotine withdrawal

Fear of nicotine withdrawal is one of the major reasons why people don't quit smoking, along with the delusion that they enjoy it. Understanding nicotine withdrawal makes dealing with its symptoms a lot easier.

First, it's important to remember that smoking is more in your mind than in your body. Before you start laughing at me for that statement, think back to a time where you had to be, for an extended period of time, somewhere you couldn't smoke. If you were involved in what you were doing, you weren't bouncing off the walls wanting a cigarette.

You knew, in the back of your mind, that you would have a cigarette whenever you were next able to. That's a mental addiction, not a physical one. If it were physical, there would be no way to go without a cigarette on, say, an airplane.

The actual physical symptoms of nicotine withdrawal are a lot less severe than the mentally-induced cravings, and generally aren't directly pinnable on smoking. Irritability is the classic one (I went through it, that was not fun at all) that everyone attributes to nicotine withdrawal, but there are a few other ones that result in general poor feelings. If you experience them, you can't be completely sure that they're smoking related at all.

Luckily, none of them are permanent, and none of them are very severe. Keep yourself involved in work or your family, and you will barely notice them passing. Make sure to let your family members know what you're doing, just in case you end up being snippy towards them.
