What are the common withdrawal symptoms smokers experience?
The most common withdrawal symptoms smokers who try to quit experience are the following: • A dry feeling mouth in the mouth. (Drink plenty of fluid, have salads and fruit). • Headaches (Take a warm bath. Try meditation) • Difficulty sleeping. (Get into exercise routines/ relaxation techniques). • Trouble passing motion.(Add more fibre and fluids to diet). • Anger, irritability. (Try breathing techniques) • Coughing (Take warm water/ fluids) • Hunger and increase in weight. (This too can be handled by increased fluid and fruit/vegetables intake) • Craving: there is almost an irresistible impulse to reach out for a cigarette. (This will last a few minutes. Wait it out.) It is important to know that these symptoms last only for a week or so. Simple lifestyle changes can reduce the impact of these. Remembering the effects of tobacco related diseases and the anguish that they cause reduces the annoyances caused by quitting to insignificance. How long do withdrawal symptoms last? Withdrawal
