How long do the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal last?

nicotine
I quit smoking almost 6 weeks ago. I chewed the gum for 1 week, but haven’t had any nicotine in my system for 5 weeks. I feel awful with all the signs of withdrawal – lethargic, tired, short of breath, light headed, difficulty concentrating. Does anyone know how long this should last?

I smoked for 21 years about 10-15 cigarettes per day. Since I quit I feel worse than I ever did when I was smoking. And it’s not just psycholigical, these are physical symptoms. I almost want to start smoking again ;-)

    An hour three times week will make you can help your energy and regain your lungs or sugar as this will adjust but it if you can help to go back onto the symptoms do go back.
