When I smoke regularly I am around 25% less intelligent, less good looking, can't make proper long-term decisions and have a hard time breathing. I'm 30 and have been smoking on and off for 15 years now. There was once point where the lung doctor said that there was a chance that my left lung would collapse.
When I quit my body and my mind are on different schedules for adjustment.
My body takes around 7 days to get fully over the nicotine addiction. The peak of discomfort is at day 3 and day 4. My body reaches it's highest temperature during those days and there's a particular de-nicotining stink that's in the sweat throughout the 7 days.
Mentally it seems like you're losing your mind (the first couple of times you quit, other times you know what's going on), and it's the hardest on the 5th or 6th days when your energy is ebbing the most.
During the first 14 days the stress level peaks off and on and I get angry at almost anything. This continues for the next two weeks, but not at such a high frequency.
The ability to deconstruct concepts is at a low and patience and understanding are almost non-existent during the first week.
During periods that I smoke, my self-esteem is much lower than if I'm not smoking, and there's always an element of paranoia in thought strains, albeit very subtle. I'm around 15% less physically strong during these periods as well (tested at the gym).
Being very honest here. Know what you're getting into before you get into it
IIN I don't have the feeling that if i don't smoke that i'll die
