The more serious physical effects of nicotine come with the period of withdrawal.
Physical factors that may be affected include experiencing headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, tiredness, changes in appetite and occasionally constipation. Most of these effects can be controlled by other methods and will pass once the preliminary stages of withdrawal have passed.
Withdrawal symptoms involve dizziness which usually occurs within 1-2 days once a smoker quits, depression and emotions like frustration, impatience and anger. A smoker may feel irritable and anxious. Sleeping disturbances may also occur like having hard to fall asleep and staying asleep. Withdrawal also tends to give trouble in concentrating, restlessness, tiredness, and headaches and increased in appetite.
First of all help yourself:
- Delay until the urge passes – usually within 3-5 minutes
- Distract yourself
- Drink water
- Deep Breaths, close your eyes and take 10 slow, deep breaths
- Discuss your feelings with someone close to you.
- Use self-hypnosis methods
Use Nicotine Replacement therapy:
- Nicotine patches
- Nicotine gum
- Nicotine sprays
- Herbal cures and acupuncture
