Most smokers will say that they are addicted to nicotine but they misuse the term addicted. People who are truly addicted to a substance need to have that substance to stop going into withdrawal. I am speaking of dealing with those symptoms to an addiction that can be life-threatening in some cases. I have worked with quit smoking as well as other addictions and the difference between them is huge.
When one stops smoking cigarettes or other nicotine based substances, they may become irritable, feel as if something is missing, feel uncomfortable or feel a desperate urge to light a cigarette because that is what they do after a meal, or when they go to the toilet or have a coffee.
