 Posted: 09/06/06 - 23:00 Post subject: Advice on smoking withdrawal symptoms |
  |
|
Hi, I am in the second week of my therapy for quitting smoking and I have severe withdrawal symptoms, I take nicotine chewing gums and patches. But, I am afraid that I will not manage to keep up much longer without a cigarette. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi, it’s not easy at all. I know , I gave up smoking two years ago. But, you need to find your own goals and not give up. Withdrawal symptoms start as soon as you reduce intake of nicotine, but don't worry, if you persist a few first weeks without cigarettes it will be only more and more easier for you. Even watching other people smoking will not be such a temptation as it is now. But, try to avoid any public places where smoking is allowed. Keep taking nicotine chewing gums and patches, as they will provide you with nicotine and not with other poisoning ingredients of cigarettes. They can help relieve the anxiety, irritability, insomnia and difficulty concentrating you are exposed to due to lack of cigarettes.

| I was a smoker for six years, and just quit 3months ago. Without the use of nicotine gums or anything. my roomates all continued smoking but i kept strong and just didnt let it affect me. Smoking is all in the mind, all you have to do, is keep busy, go for a walk,exercise, play games, read a book, but force urself not to smoke, after a month, you should be alright. withdrawal symptoms are bad too, thr phlem and the chest pains, but they go after a while, so dont worry, it all good |
