Quitting smoking won’t be easy. The nicotine, which is deep in a smoker’s lungs and bloodstream, is highly addictive. When a smoker quits nicotine, he or she goes into withdrawal – becoming dizzy, depressed, anxious and irritable. Those symptoms could last three days; they could last three weeks.
“Statistically, tobacco is the hardest drug to quit because it is easily accessible and it’s legal,” said Tech. Sgt. Michael DeCarmo, 21st Space Wing Health and Wellness Center NCOIC.
