Common Withdrawal Symptoms

Once a person quits from being a chain smoker, that person is likely to experience evident signs of self rehabilitation from a prolonged habit of years of smoking. Here are some of the most common withdrawal symptoms a person may experience:

1. Coughing up Dark Mucus

A person who smokes will have tar in their lungs. These tar deposits will have to come out. The lungs produce mucus to protect itself from bacterial infection from tar and other chemicals inhaled overtime. Once the inhalation of tar has stopped, the lungs still produce mucus and this mucus will find its way out of the system orally.

2. Nausea or Dizziness

A feeling of nausea or dizziness is normal for a person who recently quit smoking. Once a person stops smoking, his or her lungs will start to clear up and clean itself. The sudden surge of oxygen through the lungs and to brain will result in feeling lightheaded. Practice deep breathing and enjoy your new lifestyle.

3. Increase in Appetite

When a person quits smoking, his or her sense of smell and sense of taste will become sensitive. Your new found strength if taste and smell will trigger an increase in appetite. Avoid fast food meals or heavy meals if you’re about to sleep. Increase in appetite will surely trigger increase in food intake and is a result of increase in weight. Always have healthy snacks on standby.
