Detailed assessment is needed. Like the reason behind smoking, number of cigarettes and comorbid medical condition.

If you consult a psychiatrist they will be able to help you. All the best.

Withdrawal symptoms vary from person to person and I hope that this is just that.

If you are firm this attempt will fizzle out and disappear. Often wh...more

Dear lybrate-user, you are just 20. You will not face any withdrawal symptoms or health consequences on suddenly leaving smoking. Quitting addictive substances is not an easytask.

I suggest counseling and psychotherapy. Please consult a psychologist. Take care.
