Hello lybrate-user. Yes this is normal to have withdrawal symptoms
passive smoking is almost equivalent to active smoking and causes same harm to your lungs as active smoking would do.
But with time withdrawal symptoms will settle
if they donot you can choose to have pharmacological intervention i.e. Medicine for it.

Dear lybrate-user,
Please try to stop smoking at the earliest. It has many health benefits in the long run.
When you stop suddenly, you may get withdrawal symptoms like restlessness, irritability, lack of concentration, increased hunger, sleep disturbance, headache, impatience, anxiety, depression, etc. If you have them please don’t get back to smoking, take nicotine gum or lozenge or patch. They are available in all medical shops. You don’t need a prescription from doctors.

Dear Gaurav,
You need to be appreciated for your decision to quit smoking. You have withdrawal symptoms as headache. Keep on motivating yourself to quit by smoking half cigarette and postponing the urge to smoke by few minutes. It will help you to reduce headache and also no smoking. Though headache goes away in few weeks, the cravings will continue for few months. Make a family member or friend to appreciate your effort to fight the craving

Nicotine chewing gums too help as an alternative for cigarettes. But still...more

It is safe to stop smoking at once. Your peripheral circulation may also begin to improve during this time. However, during this time you may also begin to experience some of the adverse effects of quitting smoking: withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms may include anxiety, increased appetite, irritability, sleeplessness, and intense cravings. When you quit smoking, the inflammation in the airways goes down. The little hair-like projections in the airways that we call cilia — which are paralyzed b...more
