nicotine withdrawal
Smoker's cessation symptoms
Nicotine withdrawal is the cluster of symptoms that follow when a regular tobacco or nicotine user stops or sharply reduces intake.
Irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, intense cravings, and disrupted sleep are typical.
Physical symptoms may include headaches and increased appetite.
The worst usually passes within a few weeks, though cravings can persist much longer: The nicotine withdrawal was brutal for the first three days.
