There are two types of withdrawal from nicotine. They are physical and psychological. The physical types are not life threatening just annoying you can just replace the nicotine to lower the symptoms. They can be limited and you can still get the urge to smoke just because it is a habit like watching TV or eating at certain parts of the day. One way to help fight the urge to smoke is to realize that it is a urge and try to stop it. Some people say they have these symptoms, I’ll just use it to get through this rough spot. Today is not a good day; I’ll quit tomorrow. How bad is tobacco, really? Uncle Harry chewed all his life and he lived to be over 90. You've got to die of something. Life is no fun without smoking. The main part of withdrawal is realizing that it is all in your head and you don't actually have to smoke a cigarette. You can also help yourself by staying away from others that smoke so you feel like you don't have to. You should change your habits and switch from alcohol and coffee to juice and water will help you stay away from cigarettes.

Do exercises and other activity's to keep your hands bizzy or take a hot bath. or read a book. Take deep breaths as you would when you were smoking. Whenever you feel the urge try and hold it off for 10 minuets.

Other peoples questions

Did you know that the human brain is the most complex organ in the body? Treat it well!


wild wild west - voorhees middle school (): What are the side effects of Darvon?
Ivan Montoya: Interesting question! The active ingredient of Darvon (R) is propoxyphene, which is an analgesic that can be prescribed by doctors. Some of the side-effects include somnolence, dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, constipation, mood changes and headache. One of the biggest concerns with this medication is that it can produce addiction. You can find more information about this medication at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a682325.html



Kristin Burke - Sterling (): Why do drugs make you feel high?
Joe Frascella: That's a great question!

The main reason drugs make you feel high is because they affect particular parts of our brain. Most abused drugs produce intense feelings of pleasure. We know that the high and rush result from the direct effects that drugs of abuse have on the "reward system" in the brain. Drugs cause a quick release of the brain chemical called dopamine. This initial sensation of euphoria is followed by other effects, which differ with the type of drug used. For example, with stimulants such as cocaine, the "high" is followed by feelings of power, self-confidence, and increased energy, yet it is important to know that users often report negative side effects, such as respiratory difficulties, heart problems, strokes, and sometimes seizures. In contrast, the euphoria caused by other drugs, such as heroin (aka opioids) is followed by feelings of relaxation and satisfaction.

Marsha Lopez:
Among the general population age 12 and older, the most frequently used "drug" is alcohol and the most frequently abused illegal drug is marijuana. More info can be found at www.oas.samhsa.gov/nsduh.


wild wild west - voorhees middle school (): How addictive are prescription drugs?
Joe Frascella:
Great question! It turns out that prescription drugs, when not taken as prescribed, can be very highly addictive. We have found that long-term use also can lead to physical dependence, a condition where the body adapts to the presence of the substance and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced abruptly. This can also include tolerance, which means that higher doses of a medication must be taken to obtain the same initial effects. You might be interested to know that physical dependence is not the same as addiction—physical dependence can occur even with appropriate long-term use of opioid and other medications. Addiction is defined as compulsive, often uncontrollable drug use in spite of negative consequences. And, prescription drugs can become very addictive when not used properly.


Nick - Tecumseh (): what happens when u do pcp?
David Shurtleff:
PCP (phencyclidine) was actually developed as general anesthetic for surgery. When someone takes PCP, it can distort perceptions of sight and sound and produce feelings of detachment (dissociation) from the environment and self. Because of this, PCP is known as a "dissociative anesthetic." PCP acts by altering the distribution of the neurotransmitter glutamate throughout the brain. Glutamate is involved in the perception of pain, responses to the environment, and memory. Many PCP users are brought to emergency rooms because of overdose or because of the drug's unpleasant effects. For more information about PCP, see http://www.drugabuse.gov/ResearchReports/Hallucinogens/Hallucinogens.html.
