what in your opinion would be harder to quit herion or nicotine?

Answer 1

Heroin is the mother of addictions, The withdrawal syndrome from heroin may begin starting from within 6 to 24 hours of discontinuation of sustained use of the drug; however, this time frame can fluctuate with the degree of tolerance as well as the amount of the last consumed dose. Symptoms may include: sweating, malaise, anxiety, depression, persistent and intense penile erection in males (priapism), extra sensitivity of the genitals in females, general feeling of heaviness, cramp-like pains in the limbs, yawning and lacrimation, sleep difficulties, cold sweats, chills, severe muscle and bone aches not precipitated by any physical trauma, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, goose bumps, cramps, and fever. In an addict with a high tolerance, heroin withdrawal may even lead to death, although debate amongst professionals continues about the likelihood of death being an end result of simple withdrawal

Answer 2

Both of them have different affects on the body when it comes to withdrawal. I am sure if you ask a person addicted to heroin they would tell you that heroin is harder to kick.
With heroin there are many physical discomforts from the withdrawal. There are withdrawals from nicotine as well but not as difficult. I had a relative that was and possible still is addicted to heroin and to watch them go through the withdrawals was torture. When someone quits smoking they may be crabby and have cravings but they don't go through the pain of the heroin withdrawal. Hope that answered your question?

Answer 3

That's what I have read and heard - that the physical and psychological effects of stopping smoking are harder than quitting heroin. And with cigarettes, you see people smoking everywhere, or can still smell it on them, or see the cartons on the shelves at the store, so it's something that's hard to stop thinking about. You don't see people doing heroin on their breaks at work (atleast no where I've ever worked, lol). I remember how hard it was for me to quit. I felt like total crap for weeks, my heart was racing like crazy, dizziness, irritability, etc. I ended up quitting by eating all the Enteman chocolate chip cookies I wanted every time I wanted a cigarette. Seriously! I gained weight, but took it off after the strongest cigarette cravings stopped. It's worse of course if your significant other smokes. When I quit smoking, I was dating a guy who detested smoking, so I had an extra incentive =). I didn't get to kiss him until I brushed my teeth five times and if I wanted to smoke, he'd make me go outside, even in sub-zero weather. I hope that you can quit someday honey. I know it's so darn hard to quit. Heroin users can go to clinics at the taxpayer's expense. People who want to quit smoking are on their own unless their insurance will cover treatment to help them. Take care my friend.
