When we quit our Bodies rebel due to withdrawal.
The list of physical symptoms is well documented:

(2) Smoking may also elicit feelings of love, relaxation, or peace if they are used to lighting up during certain situations or while interacting with certain people.

(3) The initial process of stress, anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming. Acknowledging these feelings starts the process of addressing them.

(2) Live your values – not your thoughts:
