Short-term physical withdrawal
This may include feeling grouchy or irritable, bored, hungry, tired, depressed, or nervous. Some people also have trouble sleeping or cough more than usual. Some people don't feel anything or have only one symptom. Other people feel a lot of symptoms. Withdrawal occurs because nicotine is leaving your body. The symptoms will last fewer than two weeks after quitting.
Temptations to smoke
Temptations cause you to have a craving. Seeing, smelling or touching something familiar can be a temptation. The most powerful temptation is seeing a cigarette or watching someone else smoke. You can also be tempted to smoke because a friend offers you a cigarette (they may not realize you have quit smoking). You may be tempted to smoke before, during or after stressful situations, or to help you feel better.
Cravings to smoke
The urge to have a cigarette is called a craving. Certain smells (e.g. the smell of someone else's cigarette or the smell of fresh coffee) or sights (watching your friends gather in a familiar spot to smoke) may remind you how much you miss smoking. You may miss the taste, smell or feel of a cigarette. Cravings can last for a few days or a few months after quitting.
Breaking old habits.
There are many habits or routines associated with smoking. For example, some people like to gently touch a cigarette or lighter and play with them in their hand. When they quit, they miss having something in their hand. You may also miss having something in your mouth.
