The good news is that most symptoms last just a few days and you can take action to help reduce their effects.
Here are some of the things you may feel, why you may feel them and suggestions on how to deal with them. Remember, everyone breaks up with smoking differently, so if anything alarms you, you can always speak with a Health Care Professional.
Dhimbje koke, nervoz ose irritim
Declining nicotine levels can create feelings of tension in your body, which may lead to headaches, nervousness or irritability. Do some relaxation exercises or listen to your favourite music. If your headache gets too bad, try taking ibuprofen, acetaminophen or acetylsalicylic acid as directed. Drink lots of water to help flush the nicotine out of your body faster.

Another side effect of the declining nicotine levels in your body is trouble sleeping. Eliminate caffeine (coffee, tea, cola, chocolate) from your diet for a while. Also, try creating a relaxing bedtime ritual, such as reading, listening to soft music, breathing exercises or yoga.
Kapsllëk
Your intestinal movement may decrease for a brief period following a smoking break-up, which can lead to constipation. Eat more vegetables and fresh fruit. Eat a high-fibre cereal each day for breakfast. Be sure to drink plenty of water.

You may cough a bit more than usual shortly after the break-up. Your lungs are cleaning themselves out. If it gets too bad, try a mild cough syrup or cough drops to soothe your throat.
Marramendje
After you break-up with smoking, you are getting more oxygen. This may cause you to feel dizzy. Stop and sit down for a moment. It should pass in a few seconds.
Ndryshime në apetit
This can be from changes occurring in your brain, your increased ability to smell and taste food, the need to have something in your hands and mouth, or from all of these things. Before you eat, ask yourself whether you really need to eat or if you just want to be distracted. Instead of eating, drink lots of water, go for a short walk or call a friend. When you do eat, make sure it is healthy food that is low in fat and high in fibre.
