Side effects of quitting smoking

The snuff is one of the major causes of death in our country (whether directly or indirectly), for therein lies the special need to remedy this bad habit soon. Many people try, but not easy especially if the vice has for many years and if those around continue to smoke.

However, the benefits are many, both short and long term, these include the reduction of premature death, as well as complications with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and in the case of mothers reduces the possibility that baby born with defects, low birth weight or suffering from sudden death.

But we must also know that leaving is not easy, both psychologically and physically, and especially in the short term can cause discomfort in people who used to smoke a lot of cigarettes for a long period of time. Therefore, these people often feel anxious at first, nervous and angry, with a greater degree of irritability, more tired and fatigued, and with a high degree of lack of concentration. At the same time, as a result of the above, tend to have more hunger throughout the day, and here comes another of the side effects, which is the fat. Many people quench their anxiety over the lack of nicotine using candy, sweets or fast food, thereby increasing their intake of calories and gain weight.

The withdrawal therefore depend on the time that you smoked and the amount of snuff consumed daily. Side effects on the psychological level are hard, because the person is faced with a change in his painting of habitual behavior that may have been saying for a long time (like smoking a cigarette after meals, during breaks from the office, nights out ...); is the most difficult to deal with their social and emotional ties. Therefore, it is the drink harder to overcome. As for side effects on the physical level, you begin to notice two to three days after quitting, and can last up to several weeks later. The main complaints are often dizziness (which disappear within two days), depression, sleep disorder, insomnia and even nightmares, headaches, chronic fatigue and bad taste.

That is why most people fail their first attempts, since the amount of side-effects makes them feel vulnerable and turn to snuff again to regain self-control and fitness, but what really need to know go back to smoking is not the solution, because the damage we are doing ourselves far outweighs the difficulties of the period of abstinence. The recommended therapy is to use nicotine replacement, where is replaced by other products, without being harmful to the body, have the same effect, such as patches or nicotine gum, making the level of the substance in the body is less and less to completely abandon their addiction. However, it should be borne in mind that these substitutes also cause side effects such as itching, nausea, vomiting, stiffness and muscle pain, headaches and palpitations, which, if they appear, reduce the dose or change method.
