Nicotine Withdrawal
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Nicotine withdrawal is the set of physical and emotional discomforts that appear when a person who uses tobacco reduces or stops nicotine, a substance that creates dependence in the body.
Frequent symptoms:
- Irritability, anxiety, or restlessness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Intense urge to smoke
- Changes in mood, sleep, or appetite
Why it matters to support it: these symptoms are usually temporary and subside over the days, but they can make the attempt to quit smoking difficult; having adequate support notably increases the chances of achieving it.
Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner can guide the process of quitting tobacco, and the psychologist provides tools to manage anxiety, stress, and the habits associated with use. If you are thinking about quitting smoking, relying on a professional makes the path more manageable and sustainable over time.
