When I quit smoking, the withdrawal pull was so bad that I seriously wanted to kill everyone that came within ten yards of me. I felt it for two months straight before it started to subside. It felt like slow starvation. My nerves were racked beyond anything I had ever experienced before. For the first two weeks, my hands literally shook uncontrollably. I was completely useless.
Sure, smoking won't kill you quite like heroin will, but that doesn't make the addiction to it any less intense.
