A member asked:
Is it true that nicotine withdrawal symptoms are different or more pronounced in someone who has emphysema?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The presence of emphysema does not affect tobacco withdrawal. The physical withdrawal is quite rapid over a few days but the mental addiction requires time , counseling and possible medication.
