What is Smoking Symptoms? What are its Main Types?

People who smoke exhibit different symptoms of smoking and nicotine addiction. Some of these symptoms include squat oxygen level in blood, smoke stinker mouth and clothes, nicotine tainted teeth and fingers, low stamina for exercise, cough, frosty hands and feet, hypertension, exhaustion, increased heart rate, succinctness of breath, loss of taste and smell, reduced thinking abilities etc. When a person addicted to smoking attempts smoking cessation they have to face feelings of restlessness that are known as cravings. These symptoms are smoking withdrawal symptoms. Most commonly known smoking cessation symptoms include mood swings, dizziness, constipation, sleep disturbances, insomnia, sore throat, dry mouth, tightness in chest, headache, fatigue, irritability, sweating, anxiety, hunger, tremors, reduced concentration and tobacco cravings. Smoking withdrawal symptoms can be very intense and make it difficult or impossible for smoker in quitting.

I decided to discuss two topics about smoking symptoms and types of smoking symptoms. In the first paragraph I provided names of most common smoking symptoms and now I would like to explain some measures to overcome these symptoms. People who attempt to quit smoking can overcome cravings by following combination of five D’s. These D’s are discussed below:

1.  D: Delay consumption of tobacco again until urge passes. It becomes over usually within3-5 minutes.
2. D: Distract yourself and be busy in some exercise or other activities. You can call your friend or go for a walk to overcome cravings.
3. D: Drink water to get rid of dry mouth and fight off other cravings.
4. D: Deep breaths will be best way to relax. Close your eyes and take slower deep breaths.
5. D: Discuss your feeling with a person who will support you and help you in fighting these cravings.

These were simple and basic ways to overcome smoking withdrawal symptoms individually but there are many other ways to control urge to smoke again which can include proper exercise suggested by smoking cessation resource center, take some rest to relax, take some multivitamins, reward the person trying to quit smoking etc. You can control all smoking symptoms with success if stay motivated and have strong willpower therefore focus on making strong determination to quit before you think to go through any medical program. Wish you and your friends live a smoke free life.
