Quit smoking: The number one side effect is good health if you stop smoking! if going cold turkey results in withdrawal symptoms like irritability consider a nicotine replacement product.

Yes, mild & worth it: Stopping smoking is the best thing you can do for your health. You will have temporary withdrawal symptoms, after which the main side effect will be some coughing as your lung starts to clear out the toxins that have been deposited. But you will feel better in many ways! see www.Everydayhealth.Com/smoking-cessation/immediate-and-long-term-benefits.Aspx , http://whyquit.Com/ & http://smokefree.Gov/.
