I am addicted to smoking but have quit recently. i just had a cigarette and started to shake. why, and is this bad?

Drug dependence: Nicotine is a very powerful and addicting alkaloid just like cocaine, morphine etc and the CNS effects are very strong. Shaking or tremulousness is not bad but starting to smoke again is bad. Quit now before it is too late.
