Quitting smoking is hard for at least five reasons.
2. Withdrawal effects – After not smoking for about an hour-and-a-half, withdrawal (or a craving) kicks in. This can include anxiety, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and restlessness. The desire for nicotine and the discomfort of withdrawal is what makes quitting so difficult. If you are a smoker or a former smoker, you will know or remember some of the great lengths taken when you were out of cigarettes. This may include rummaging around the house or car for change, standing outside in really bad weather for a few puffs, not being able to sit through a movie, going to great lengths to get a smoke… This is addiction and withdrawal from nicotine can, at first, be extremely difficult.
