Quit Smoking Symptoms

by Mike

When you start a smoking cessation, you will experience a number of changes, also called the cessation symptoms or quit smoking symptoms.
It is quite natural, since your body for a longer period have become accustomed to be exposed to toxic substances in the form of nicotine, tar and the like.  When you quit smoking, and thereby stopping adding poisonous substances to your blood, your body begins a purge of the poison, and that is what we call smoking cessation symptoms.

The quit smoking symptoms you may experience varies significantly from person to person, but it is important that you prepare you for the coming onslaught. The cessation symptoms you suffer from will give you an excuse to try to justify that you start smoking again. You must fight against this negative process and stick in your decision to stop smoking.

One thing that is important to remember before you read further, is that I will list the most common cessation symptoms, and you will most likely only be able to recognize some of them, but do not worry, it’s perfectly normal.

The most usual stop smoking symptom, is your almost irresistible urge to start smoking again, your body will almost shout to get another injection of nicotine, and your internal dialogue will be divided between your desire to escape your addiction, and the desire to end the unpleasant symptoms.
This symptom is not so hard to get through, just some steadfastness, and you will be over the worst after the first 3-4 days.

You might also see that you are a little ill, in the form of frequent coughs, small colds, and other lung chest discomfort symptoms, it is again quite naturally, because your airways cleans out, and restore the natural function, while that your immune defense works hard to purge the poison from your body.

Your intestines will also make “sounds” as a symptom of a smoking cessation, you can even get an attack of constipation, you must understand that smoking affects many parts of the body, while smoking also consumes a lot of your body’s energy which could otherwise be spent on many other things, and so many functions in the body have suffered from smoking.

You will most likely also see an increased appetite, and a greater desire to put something in your mouth, and if you absolutely must give into the temptation, go for fiber-containing foods, as it facilitates bowel function, coarse bread, nuts, grains and prunes could also be fine things to eat, and remember in the beginning of your smoking cessation to drink plenty of water, all things could help ease the symptoms of your smoking cessation.

Headaches can also be a smoking cessation symptom, which brings along a lack of focus and concentration, and you will see that you are easily irritated.
Experts believe that the headache is caused by changes in blood / oxygen ratio simultaneously with a change of blood sugar levels, caused by lack of nicotine which all alter normal brain environment. With time, these levels return to a normal mode, you must simply arm yourself with patience, plenty of water, and maybe use a few headache pills against the pains for a while.
