subject: You Can Beat the Side Effects of Quitting Smoking! [print this page] Are the side effects of quitting smoking simply withdrawal from the nicotine? What are some of the options to help me kick this habit? Are some of the choices available better than others? Are some products safer than others? Is gaining weight one of the side effects of quitting smoking?
Nicotine is an addictive drug like caffeine. While at the same time it is harmless. So one of the side effects of quitting smoking cold turkey is going to be the lack of any nicotine in your system. Which many find to be the hardest part about the cold turkey approach.
So basically you have three options if you want to stop smoking for good.
1) You can buy nicotine patches or gum. These will help the side effects of quitting smoking but will NOT address the habit of the problem.
2) You can quit cold turkey. Which is the hardest way and why MOST gain weight using this approach. There is no nicotine to replace the drug they are addicted to and nothing to replace the habit of smoking.
3) You can switch to e-cigarettes which will satisfy the side effects of quitting smoking and the cravings in two ways. It will replace the nicotine your system is addicted to. More importantly it will replace the habit of smoking.
Are e-cigarettes safe to use? I have not seen any scientific proof that they are dangerous to your health. While tobacco cigarettes have over four thousand chemicals in them to keep you hooked from that first puff you take. The side effects of quitting smoking is NOT just the addiction to the nicotine. It is also the addiction to all those other chemicals the industry puts into the product. Which help your mind believe that you need to light one up.
The hardest side effects of quitting smoking are the physical motions your body goes through. Which seem to address boredom you may be feeling or some type of stress you are experiencing at the moment.
Which is why e-cigarettes will satisfy the side effects of quitting smoking which includes the nicotine addiction along with the physical habit. The cold turkey approach is why most people gain weight. Which is often another excuse people use to avoid quitting the habit.
I have tried the first two options and neither one worked. While the third option of using an e-cigarette has worked very well. It has satisfied the cravings for nicotine and the physical part of kicking the habit. I discuss the side effects of quitting smoking in more detail on my blog and how it can be the answer you have been searching for.
