When you quit smoking the first two or three weeks are the most difficult.
This period of time is when cravings are at their worst and a time when smokers are most likely to start smoking again.
This period of time is when quitting smokers must be willing to dig deep and prove to themselves and those around them that they really want to do it.
  The symptoms of stopping smoking vary for each person and it does not matter if they smoked 10 a day or 60 it is still going to be a hard slog.
  1)      Cravings - This is certainly the simplest and most basic of Nicotine withdrawal symptoms and is just the urge to smoke.
It can however get very intense and an ex-smoker can suffer from headaches and drowsiness.
  2)      Behavior changes - As soon as smoker quits they become irritable and nervous with some basic tasks becoming impossible.
The level of this also differs for each individual.
  3)      Physical changes - Quitting smokers will experience coughing fits, sore throats and a dry mouth.
They can also get stomach pains and constipation.
They can also get sore gums and tongue in some instances.
As the lungs begin to clear they tend to experience cold symptoms.
  4)       Depression - This is known to be a very common problem for quitting smokers and can have a very serious effect on friends and family if it gets severe.
Depending on how they feel they should get doctors guidance on this.
  5)      Mood swings and anger - These changes in mood and anger bouts can happen for no special reason and sometimes the smallest issue can cause the most sever changes.
There can also be the problem of Boredom caused but not having a cigarette when doing a favourite task or a boring task.
  These are a summary of the most common five symptoms and they can be added to by changing appetite, really bad temper as well as dizziness.
The bonuses far outweigh the suffering of these conditions.
The bonuses are obvious in the fact that they are a healthier and richer life is led.
