Tobacco withdrawal

Tobacco withdrawal occurs when a person who uses tobacco suddenly stops or reduces their intake. This leads to a range of physical and psychological symptoms due to the absence of nicotine, the addictive substance in tobacco. Common withdrawal symptoms include cravings, irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, and sleep disturbances. These symptoms can vary in intensity and duration, often peaking in the first week and gradually decreasing over time. Understanding and managing tobacco withdrawal is crucial for successfully quitting and achieving better health outcomes. Support and resources can help ease the transition during this challenging period.
