These are withdrawal symptoms from the
nicotine, and if you can handle it they will
pass. If it becomes too much, talk
to your doctor about something to help with the anxiety until you are over this. Medication is much safer than the cigarettes!! I have a 40 year old nephew dying from lung cancer caused by smoking up to two packs a day, and will be leaving 4 children without a father. Only 3% of people age 40 and under develop lung cancer this young, and he thought it would never happen to him.
