Adult Smoking & Nicotine Use
Take the Cigarette / Nicotine Addiction Test:
- stop smoking for just one day
- continue the process for 3 days
- monitor the process along the way
- look for behavior changes and withdrawal symptoms
- make a note of any behavior changes and withdrawal symptom
Here's what happens when you stop smoking:
- your body cleanses itself of the impurity (i.e: tobacco, nicotine and other toxic substances found in cigarettes)
- cleansing may cause side effects such as withdrawal symptoms, mood swings, etc.
Fortunately, in most cases, all this, if it occurs at all, is usually mild and lasts from between 3 days to several months. Note: Side effects aren't a serious problem for most people trying to quit.
Did you experience any of the following when trying to quit:
- mood swings
- dizziness
- fatigue
- constipation
- trouble sleeping
- headaches
- anxiety
- irritability

- hunger
- cravings for tobacco
