Not a withdrawal symptom we are always comfortable talking about but it is quite common.

We need to remember that everyone's body is different and your symptoms may not mimic those of others.

The movement of your bowels may decrease for three or four days when you reduce your cigarette consumption.

How long will this last? This could occur in the first few weeks after quitting and last three to four days.

Tips to help: Eat lots of roughage, like raw fruits, vegetables, bran and cereal. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day and try to exercise regularly.

If you have a symptom that persists or seems worse than you expected, you should immediately consult a doctor. Its possible that your smoking has been masking symptoms of some illness, and when you stop smoking the symptoms abruptly become noticeable.
