Quit Smoking At DeadlyPuff.com

Do you feel depressed or irritable when you try not to smoke?

Then you can also expect these symptoms if you plan to give up smoking. When your body experiences nicotine withdrawal, you feel cranky. So, naturally depression and irritability kicks in.

Nicotine can be addictive, the same way heroin is addictive. It induces a feel-good mood. When your body starts to receive lesser nicotine, you feel a greater desire to smoke. This is your body’s way to maintain the level of nicotine in your body. Without nicotine, you feel miserable.

To counter irritability and depression, be prepared for them. Allow yourself to feel a little upset. Make an effort to treat yourself with whatever you think will cheer you up. For example,

• Cheer up yourself by watching comedies.
• Get together with your non-smoking friends.
• Do light reading.
• Grab some healthy foods. Use comfort foods sparingly as this may lead to weight gain.
• Listen to soothing music.
