Aerobic Exercise During Quit
for Nicotine Withdrawal
Exercise during a quit attempt reduces the severity of nicotine cravings, manages withdrawal-associated mood and anxiety, and helps prevent weight gain.
How it works
Acute exercise rapidly reduces nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms — possibly by increasing dopamine and serotonin. Prevents the weight gain that deters many would-be quitters.
What to watch for
Even a brisk 5-minute walk can reduce cravings for up to 30 minutes. Exercise alone is insufficient to support quitting but is a valuable craving-management tool.
