Nicotine is a
very powerful chemical that will physically and mentally affect your body.
Quitting smoking can be a difficult process, but it is worth it because there
are many positive benefits associated with it. If you decide to quit smoking
your body will go through nicotine withdrawal, which can produce some unwanted
side effects. These side effects can make it difficult for you to stick with
your decision to quit, because all you would have to do to end the
uncomfortableness is to light up another cigarette. However, if you are aware
of how the nicotine withdrawal will affect your body ahead of time, you can
take some specific steps to lessen its impact on your body, thereby increasing
your chances of success. Here is what you can expect to experience as a result
of stopping your nicotine addiction.
Many people
who quit smoking will experience flu like systems as a result of nicotine withdrawal.
They may experience symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, headache, sore throat,
cough, stomach pains and tightness in their chests. The exact withdrawal
symptoms you experience may be different than what other people have
experienced in the past, because every person is different. Other nicotine
withdrawal symptoms that you might encounter can include an inability to
concentrate, heavy cravings for nicotine and feelings of irritability and
annoyance. Some people become especially angry when they quit smoking. Other
physical effects could include the feeling of a post nasal drip in the back of
your throat, gum and tongue soreness, dry mouth and digestive upset, which
could include gas, pain and constipation. Lots of people will have an increased
appetite when they quit smoking and are likely to replace their smoking
cravings with food cravings.
These
symptoms are a sad fact of the quitting process. Odds are you will experience
at least some of these physical symptoms when you decide to quit smoking for
good. The good news is that these symptoms are only temporary. Most will go
away after a few days without a cigarette and all of them will be gone within a
month of quitting. Very few people will experience long lasting nicotine
withdrawal symptoms, but if they do last for longer than a month you should
talk with your doctor.
Once you are
aware of how the nicotine withdrawal will affect you physically, you can take
some steps to help mitigate the damage. This will improve your chances of
success.
