EFFECTS of stopping smoking??

I've recently quit smoking...as of 6 weeks ago. I am very certain that I've quit forever. This is my question: ever since I quit or at least a month ago, I feel lightheaded and sometimes, euphoric but a little dizzy. Is it possible that I am getting more oxygen into my body that I can be having this feeling? I have NO other health problems at 46 and take no other medications. This is WEIRD...and also tells me, WOW! I didn't realize how very , very horrible smoking was to my body. darcy

Hi,


I quit smoking (2.5 - 3 a day) and what you described is very familiar (at the beginning).....  Please be ready to some other phenomenon: You'll eat much more, food and combinations of food that you never tried before..... and it will be very tasty..... so you'll gain weight..... (but don't worry, after a while it will balance and you'll come back to your normal weight)..... for years you'll still miss the cigarrets.... You'll have to be very strong not to fall into it again.  Yes the reason to what you are feeling is more oxygen comes to your brain and lungs....
Best regards,

The physiological effects of quitting should subside after the first week without cigarettes. The feelings you have experienced may have to do with you quitting smoking but remember that most of the feelings you get are psychological and not physical.

You will also dream of smoking and feel guilty when you wake up.
