Based on your explanations, you want to know about nicotine withdrawal symptoms. I will provide you with the needed informations.

For your information, symptoms of nicotine withdrawal for smokers include:

  • intense cravings for nicotine
  • tingling in the hands and feet
  • sweating
  • nausea and abdominal cramping
  • constipation and gas
  • headaches
  • coughing
  • sore throat
  • insomnia
  • difficulty concentrating
  • anxiety
  • irritability
  • depression

Symptoms of nicotine withdrawal typically peak within two to three days. However, as you ignore them, they begin to disappear. Withdrawal symptoms often go away in two to four weeks. Some people may experience nicotine withdrawal for several months.
