Getting rid of an addiction always causes withdrawal and these symptoms must be managed to combat them by applying discipline to be able to reach the goal that is give up smoking. In the early days it will be difficult if your addiction was very established, but little by little your body will detoxify and you will feel much better.
In order to end these symptoms, HombresconEstilo.com gives you some solutions.
The first symptom will be a cough persistent that will last a few days. To relieve a cough you can eat honey candies or increase your fluid intake. If the cough persists for more than a week, you can calm it by taking syrup.
Although it is not very common, there are some people who after quitting the cigarette produces headache. If they happen to you, take a soaking bath with lukewarm water and relax. If the pain persists, try taking a pain reliever.
Many people smoke in order to go to the bathroom. Giving up this habit can cause you constipation. So that this does not happen to you, try to drink between 2 to 3 liters of liquid daily, incorporate fruits and vegetables and eat foods rich in fiber. Being physically active three times a week will also help you avoid constipation.
La irritability, insomnia or the lack of concentration they are the symptoms that persist the most after quitting smoking. To combat these symptoms we advise you to reduce the consumption of coffee, tea or maté to avoid insomnia. You can also choose to take a hot water immersion bath minutes before going to sleep or take a 30-minute daily walk before going to bed. For lack of concentration, try to have free time (just a few minutes) to recharge yourself with energy and regain lost concentration. And for irritability, you will only have to tell those close to you that you are trying to quit smoking, be patient, it will only be for a few weeks.
The typical symptom that a person feels when quitting smoking is the increased appetiteTogether with anxiety. If this happens to you, try to have a balanced diet, with separate meals every 3 hours. In this way you will not be hungry and you can thus overcome anxiety. In case you want to "peck" something, try to choose those foods that are light or low in calories or fruits.
When you have that urge to go back to smoking you should know that it will only last a few minutes. Have sugar-free gum, candy or lollipops on hand, this will help alleviate this symptom. You can also replace this need with another action, such as drinking water, breathing deeply, doing meditation, jumping, walking, etc.
These are some tips to eliminate the annoying symptoms of quitting smoking. Remember that the decision you made is the right one and that, in the long run, your body will thank you. It is a difficult time to go through but then you will feel much better ... Relapse is another stage in the process of quitting tobacco. Don't be put down by her.
If you tried all these tips and they didn't work for you or you can't quit, then we recommend that you ask a professional for help. There are many treatments available to quit this bad habit.
guys thanks for your advice I needed to know how to face this cigarette monster ... thanks thanks from pehuajo
I have not been smoking for a month and I have a cough that does not leave me especially at night, I have recovered kilos so in that fight I am to lose weight, but even I have been amazed that I do not feel like smoking, I tried many times and I think at last I have achieved it.
I have not smoked for 9 days, and I feel many withdrawal symptoms, but I have to defeat more than 20 years of addiction
I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years. I have not smoked for 10 days. I did a laser treatment, supported by alprazole pills (the ones I haven't taken for 3 days because I hate feeling groggy). However, I am still groggy and with a horrible lack of concentration. Can anyone tell me if there is any way to overcome the lack of concentration? Vitamins? something??? Can you tell me more or less how long this period of lack of concentration lasts? I need to work before bankruptcy !!! Thanks for any answer you can give me.

Exercise is the best option, I start with abstinence from this bad habit and I have realized that when I want to smoke I start to do some exercise and the desire calms down.

hello: I have already 2 months without smoking and the truth is I do not have anxiety about cigarettes but I have some symptoms that I do not know if it is normal, at times escaclofrios and trembling in my legs that pass quickly, moments of fear and I have very Libyan sleep this is easily the norm
thanks for replying
I have been since Monday 15 without smoking, only 3 days !!! But I have to say that after 15 years of smoking, and after several unsuccessful attempts, this time it is strangely easy for me ... I decided to buy Nicorette inhalers just in case I panicked, but the truth is that I hardly need to use them ... but in At some point if I have taken hold of it, especially it has come in handy after some food since I was very used to smoking at that time ... but anyway, I hope this message helps someone ... I find the inhaler very good to quit smoking, so if you have not tried it and you have not yet managed to quit the habit, try it, you have nothing to lose (a few euros is worth ...) but so much to gain !!! Congratulations to all of you who have managed to leave it and do not give up !!!
The same thing happens to me - and I'm scared and my blood pressure rises
Today it has been 38 days since I quit smoking, I did not have a cough at any time, but I did have sores in my mouth, so I could not eat anything that is acidic, harsh, or crunchy; in short, he only ingested liquids and pureed; It lasted me more or less 25 days. How do I fight my anxiety? with walks, more or less 7 km per day, at night when I stop working, I drink as much water as I can every time I feel the need to smoke, I chew gum, something I never did and I eat candy, logically about 4kg. fattening, but today the priority is to stop smoking. It's not easy but it could have been worse, I've been smoking for 40 years.
Well, here in Mexico we live the same situation, I have not smoked for 7 days, it has made it easy for me, I simply say "I no longer smoke" and now the craving goes away, after about 15 years of smoking about 6 to 12 cigarettes a day. My throat hurts, I feel some pimples on my palate not to get to sores, and the truth is that I feel like it a lot but I don't. The only bad vibes is a cough that I have just started for 7 days. I'm also giving up alcohol, which is getting harder for me because I'm purposely stopping meeting my friends after a year with only 4 Saturdays without alcohol. I already drank during the week, and smoke daily. Today I think it is nothing else to decide.
Hello, I am from Mexico (Guadalajara) I have been smoking for 30 years and repeatedly tried to stop smoking, use patches, gum, inhalers, but do not stop smoking, until maybe I really decided to do it and started to inform myself about the evil consequences to quit smoking, maybe I would be scared of the many illnesses of smokers and quit smoking, I have 20 days without smoking, it has not been easy, I have helped myself with pills (without nicotine) that inhibit the desire to smoke, they have helped me a lot and I am convinced that I will not smoke again, let's win. Yes you can!

I haven't smoked for a month today. I smoked 40 to 50 cigarettes a day and as my son entered the medical school and the other in the law school, to see them receive, I have stopped smoking, otherwise the tobacco would not allow me. What I want to tell you, if you do not have enough willpower, propose something that forces you, in my case, SEE MY CHILDREN RECEIVED, it helps and a lot. When I feel like smoking, I only think about the future of my children and that helps. As for anxiety, when I smoked I went out to the patio of my house and smoked two or three cigarettes, now I go out and bring some fruits, I eat them calmly and I enjoy them. FORCES THAT CAN BE, THE CIGARETTE IS A WED… .. IT CANNOT BEAT US !!!!!
I read your message because of what you say that you want to see your children when they are received. I want to dance the waltz of 15 with my granddaughter. She is 7 years old. I have a bad throat. I need help thanks
Hello, I have stopped smoking for almost 2 months, a smoker for 33 years ... My symptoms are: anxiety that I have lost by walking 10 km every day, I go to eorobics, Tuesday and Thursday and on Saturday I go to do machines at the gym to tone up. I still like the smell of it, but I pass tobacco. I have gained 5 kg, but I have filled my body with those kilos that I lacked, »my mother told me that I was blown away». I have had everything great except INSOMY, WHAT A CRUEL REALITY, I was one of the people who could sleep 11 hours at a stretch, now there is no way, I wake up 3 to 4 times, this is not resting, I hope that in time I can sleep all at once… .. I have been told that after three months… .. WOW …… .The bathroom is regulating, it costs but it goes
I stopped smoking after a gastronteritis, I was disgusted even by cigarettes, well the question is that it has been 2 weeks since I tried to smoke a pucho after eating and I rejected it, so if I have a cough that I die it is incredible, I can not sleep at night and I sweat excessively when I manage to get to sleep, I relax as if I had played 2 soccer games under the sun with 34 degrees, I am irritated all the time, constipated, what do I know ... I hope these symptoms change ... I do not want to smoke again I've already smoked a lot in these 20 years.
I stopped smoking 1 month and 24 days ago, and I feel identified, I cannot sleep, and I have a lot of anxiety, I want to eat, I walk a lot, I drink a lot of water, I did not drink water, and it is important to me It takes away the desire to eat a little, and I feel like loneliness, since the cigarette was a bad company, I am putting the means I smoke 28 years, I do therapy and I go to a group .. I am taking care of myself, so I do not fall into the claws of cogarro .. come on that can !!
Hello, I have been two months without smoking after 33 smoking. I left you with just one hypnosis session. I'm doing well but with some symptoms like constipation, weight gain (smokers burn 250 more calories a day), some anxiety and irratibility. but you have to be strong because they are symptoms that should pass. Anyone quitting an addiction has unpleasant symptoms when quitting. But over time they disappear.
I am vicen the one of the previous comment, correct that they are 33 years smoking, not months. Wishing strength to all who quit tobacco because it is the drug that kills the most. Sooner or later it brings problems. Although at first one feels bad with many unpleasant symptoms, I think that with time it brings hardly any rewards. Someone can tell me what symptoms they had when they stopped. Thanks

It has been 9 days since I quit smoking, I smoked since I was 16 or 17 years old, now I am 39, smoking more than 2 packs a day, it has been difficult for me since in addition to quitting smoking I had to stop eating since I got the triglycerides and high cholesterol, amen of bronchitis that I had days ago and sinusitis. Quitting smoking is not easy, no one has said it is, however we have to cheer for ourselves and for our children, that we encourage them to quit that damn vice, do not decline, let's do everything possible to get declared "FREE" In case it works for anyone, my doctor has prescribed .50 tafil at night to be able to overcome the crises that I have had due to everything that is happening to me.
Greetings to all and good luck in this fight against tobacco.
How strong is yours hugo !!! I quit smoking and I hadn't been doing it for so long, not even the same amount !! but with dedication everything is possible !! forces for all those who want to get away from that damn poison !!
Hello, I have been without smoking for 15 days and I am very happy with my achievement .. but I have some discomfort in the lungs that does not become pain .. someone can tell me if it is normal .. thank you ..
I have not smoked for two months. I'm 35. Since I was 18 I smoked 5 cigarettes a day until I was 23-24 when I smoked half a pack. In the last two years daily package. For one bronchi I stopped smoking. I don't feel like smoking, I don't have anxiety, and tobacco smoke bothers me. I am doing more sports. Now I have a slight cough, slight sore throat, slight pain in the right lung (little) and mucus. Mirna, I don't know if it's the same as me, but I think the lungs are cleaning themselves and they become more sensitive. We will have to wait for everything to stabilize.
ps I tell you that I quit smoking for 7 months I had a relapse but I tried again and now I have been a month ps with anxiety I am doing badly because it is the strongest there is but it is possible do not stop trying do not be discouraged exercise that is why it will help a lot and a lot of sauna.
… I've never tried, my biggest enemy is anxiety, but they're absolutely right, this is just for a moment. This is an addiction and must be treated as such, so one day at a time….
What about friends, I have barely been smoking for two days, after seeing smoked x 25 years, in these moms, I am very anxious I remember every second of the cigarette, but only x this day I will not smoke it I 8 months ago I left the Drugs and alcohol, but I can't leave the cigarette, the method I'm using is the one that my colleagues from the group of anonymous alcoholics teach me only for these 24 hours I'm not going to smoke, likewise I'm not so complicated myself, , just by scheduling me for these 24 hours I will not smoke…. just x one day .. greetings and lots of encouragement
aaaii !!! that fucked up. I have not smoked for 20 days, I have a stranger, down, I wake up several times at night ... ... I lack a little air ... but holding on ... this is going to end
Thanks for the comments, help us not to feel more strange and to have strength ... and see that almost all of us had a very bad time !! ...
I have been 73 days without smoking. I smoked 20 cigarettes a day, therefore I carry about 1464 non-smoked cigars. I quit through hypnosis. I have not had anxiety or desire to smoke. Since I quit smoking I have been mountain biking and on a diet three days a week (the dice diet), I have only gained 1,4kg but it is from sport. I look more defined and slim than before. Maybe I was too thin before. the only thing that worries me and is beginning to worry me is insomnia. I wake up at 2:30 a.m. and I don't go back to sleep until 6 a.m. I'm exhausted. There are days when I don't know how I can handle my bike. I am very happy to have been living a completely different lifestyle for three months. If I can't sleep in another week, I will go to the doctor to check me with analytics. Ah, I forgot, when I wake up, I'm drenched in sweat. This is normal,? At three months, can it still be withdrawal syndrome?
Those d anxiety is very ugly. I have not smoked for a month and I still feel very anxious .. In order to sleep at night I took clonagin droplets. 2 dissolved in a poko d aguaa and cn that drmia like a baby .. Greetings and force that you can :)
Well, I stopped smoking 4 months ago and I have had severe insomnia for 4 months. According to the blood test, I have estrogens on the floor and my period does not come. Besides crawling on the floors I'm in a total lunatic mood. From crying to laughter and from laughter to crying. the only day I slept was the end of the year (I smoked 1 burn)!
I know it's not good. I know I will never smoke again. But maybe insomnia kills me sooner. Luckily I have not gained weight thanks to diet and cycling. Anyway, I get mad when energy doesn't allow me to train. Horrible. I hope this happens quickly. I don't know what to drink anymore to sleep. I'll try what you say Max.
Force .. I do not know how to hold on so much I was the same .. I did all kinds of studies and they turned out well for me. After they made me an electrocephalogram and everything was fine too and there the neurologist told me that I suffered from anxiety attacks, I told him my symptoms and I told him that he could take to calm a little that. He told me to drink mansanilla tea and at night to take those clonagin drops .. Good. X at least I can sleep but sometimes I get those attacks back and I try to do something to distract myself .. I smoked for more than 10 years ... But there the style fighting .. Good luck to all and I hope that we all recover more. A hug ...
I advise that before medicate you consult it with your doctor or neurologist to see what it says ... I hope you are lucky.
Yes! I will do so
Thanks Max
Hello everyone, I have read from the beginning, I was ready today to go to the emergency room, I have a cough that I have had in my life, not even with the worst bronchitis, I have not smoked for 12 days and from morning to night coughing, The nights are worse, the cough wakes me up, I cough and the truth is I go back to sleep, I have taken everything for the cough, I have even bought Ventoline, since sometimes it is a dry cough and I think my bronchial tubes are closed.
It was the doctor who recommended me to quit smoking, because of my age (I am 56), high blood pressure and cholesterol, although I am thin.
I have not weighed myself, but I don't really want to eat either, I continue to eat normally, I have started to give classes in Painting, Yoga and Pilates.
The happy cough !!!! It is what worries me, but I think I will never smoke again, I had been thinking about it for a long time without incentives to quit, but my main incentive at the moment is me, being healthy and planning a dignified old age.
I encourage those who want to quit, because of the feeling of FREEDOM you feel and I encourage my fellow EX-SMOKERS, we have achieved it.
Greetings to all.
I left May 26, 2017 .. today is June 13 after a bronchitis with asthma that I rarely had in my life… it coincided with my retirement .. my children's move… my daughter's first job….
The first 4 days I slept in a row, I hardly ate and only drank water ... then the days passed ... one more day ... one more day ... and that's how I am ... I keep the cigarettes the same as that day ... I see them but I don't take them ... a herpe on the lips I don't know if it was the antibiotic .. I am excited that it cost me little compared to another time… I look pale… I read a lot about the subject to see the biological changes… I publish it in face… for the support of my friends and If they tell me something that I don't like, I send them to shit… I count each day that passes and I save the twine from each package to take a trip… I reward myself with something….
What is true is that as time passes, the desire to smoke from time to time becomes more controllable and shorter. Greetings.
Hello everybody!!! I have not smoked for 7 days, I am very happy because since I was 13 years old I smoked 10 cigarettes a day, and I am already 50 years old !!! I tried many times and failed, only once lasted two days and again I smoked. One good day I felt that I had no quality of life, since my throat hurt, the bad taste of food, I didn't feel like breathing. By the way, know of so many people who have lost their lives because of that stupid vice. That life has so many beautiful moments that we stop we can stop living next to our loved ones just because of a meaningless vice ... THINK ABOUT THE DAMAGE THAT THIS WILL HELP YOU. THINK ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES THIS STRENGTHENS YOU, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAVE, THIS ENHANCES YOU. and above all think of you it is time, it is never too late to get out of this tie friends. I HELP ME WHEN I WANT TO SMOKE, WITH A SMELL TOBACCO AND TAKE IT IN THE MOUTH AFTER EATING IT RELIEVES YOU AND DECEIVES THE BRAIN. IT MAKES YOU QUIET WHILE YOU CLEAN YOUR BODY, CLEAR WITHOUT LIGHTING ONLY SMELL ... IT IS EFFECTIVE. And I will tell you, I have done very well, I can see the cigarette and I don't even feel like smoking, so much so that the smoke bothers me. CLEAR AND THINKING A LOT OF MY GOD WHO HAS HELPED ME BECAUSE I ASKED HIM AND HAS GUIDED ME. Thank my Lord!!! and good luck friends.
