As soon as your body notices a shortage of nicotine ? usually in about three days ? it will go into withdrawal. You can expect to feel irritable, restless, and moody for about two or three weeks after quitting. The withdrawal period won't be longer if you were a heavy smoker, but it may be especially intense. Exercise. Get out of the house for a walk. Chew gum or hard candy. Keep your hands busy with a pen or toothpick, or play a game in the QuitGuide app. Drink lots of water. Relax with deep breathing. Go to a movie. Spend time with non-smoking friends and family.
