Answer by “Downtown”
I had smoked for over 12 years & quit cold turkey from about a pack & half habit per day to nothing. For the first 2 months I had headaches nearly everyday & gained weight from no change in diet. After about the 3rd month I was breathing better & the headaches ceased. The emotional side of the equation was there too, but more in regards to patience levels & being more affected by things that normally wouldn’t try me in the past.
