Quitting smoking: Congrats 4 wanting to quit, that's the1st step. List pros & cons of quitting & pros & cons of smoking. Nicotine anonymous & smoking cessation programs offer support & education. Patch, gum & e-cigs keep you addicted to nicotine (i don't recommend). Cravings for nic last 3-5 mins, and if you can breathe, take a walk, chew carrots or otherwise distract yrself it will pass & gets easier over time.

It varies: Hi. First of all, let me congratulate you on making one of the wisest decisions in your life...to quit smoking. Quitting can provoke anxiety, depending on the individual. Bupropion has been shown to help; talk with your doc about this. I will prescribe ANYTHING that works to get my patients to quit. Chantix helps the quitting as well; probably helps the anxiety as well. You've done a wise thing!
