Nicotine withdrawal is the group of symptoms that occur upon the abrupt discontinuation or decrease in intake of nicotine. The effects of nicotine withdrawal can include anxiety, depression, feelings of restlessness or frustration, headaches, an increased appetite and difficulty in concentrating. A smoking cessation program may improve one’s chance for success in quitting nicotine. However the most vital component for success is willpower and the support of the patient’s family.

“Pull out a Monte Cristo at a dinner party and the political liberal turns into the nicotine fascist.”
—Martyn Harris (b. 1952)
“A separation situation is different for adults than it is for children.

—Roger Gould (20th century)
