Anne - that really depends on the person and how much they smoked. I quit cold turkey and probably was at my most irritable two days in for about 2-3 days, but I was mostly a social smoker and probably only averaged 1/3 pack a day when I quit.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Consumption is a good one. But my all-time favorite old illness is the screaming shits.

I am choosing my quitting outfit! hee. I thought I would quit today, so I had worn one of my favorite dresses. I think tomorrow I will wear a new skirt with lots of embroidery on it - and a bright pink tee and a white cardigan. oh and white slides. also? an imaginary tiara.
in my head I will finish every sentence with "eat it!" hee.

Anne, physical withdrawal symptoms are supposed to be largely over withing a few days- for me, irritability was more mental than physical, though.

You really must. Possibly while wearing a real tiara.

Maybe just put on the tiara for the actual quitting.

For an old-fashioned illness, you really can't beat dropsy.
Go you with the quitting, msbelle!

I'm fond of the mean reds, myself. It's a good, all-purpose, all-encompassing diagnosis.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do you need me to run my tiara over for you? Because I will. OH I WILL.
