What you are describing are withdrawal symptoms of nicotine. Withdrawal symptoms gradually increase and peak after 2 weeks of quitting smoking, then subside over the next few weeks. Craving for cigarettes may persist for months, or even years. I congratulate you for having kicked the habit of smoking. You will have to be strong and brave the cravings till they disappear. Good luck.
