A member asked:
When you quit smoking, why are you feeling irritable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Withdrawal: Smoking is an addiction and nicotine is the chemical. When you stop you are withdrawing form the habit and the comfort as well as the chemical withdrawal from the nicotine (the biggest factor). For many the nicotine patch can help and i recommend acupuncture as well..It can help with the irritability and speed the clearing of your body.
