Ok, this seems a little extreme (Cracked article on quitting smoking)

WTF?
I once tried to quit smoking for a week just for kicks and it wasn't this bad. That looks more like opiate withdrawal than cig ... but then again, I've never gone more than a week without smoking. Maybe it gets worse. What's your take? Have you experienced any of this while quitting cigs?
My body feels like electrified concrete. My mind isn't working. I've eaten about half a pound of Jelly Belly's already. Even the licorice flavored ones.
What's it like to quit smoking, you ask? Remember the worst flu you've ever had -- body aches, lethargy, stomach cramps, nausea, headaches, sore throat, coughing that makes your lungs feel like they're on fire. Then imagine the angriest you've ever been, and try to picture being in that state for a solid week. When people try to cheer you up, it only makes it worse. Everything makes it worse.
Concentrate on physically clenching every muscle in your body all at once and hold it for as long as you can. Just when you think you can't take it anymore, hold it for another week. Now, combine all of those into one cohesive army that's constantly attacking your body and mind, and the whole time, you know that smoking a single cigarette will take all of that away in less than five seconds.

I quit nicotine a month ago today, it wasn't much worse than when i quit caffeine tbh. I had weed to kill the psychological cravings and the physical effects (headache, lethargy) were gone in a few days.
Way easier than i expected.

Yeah I heard that a lot of people are addicted to the act of smoking more than the nicotine itself, so replacing it with weed could work.
