Cold Turkey Nicotine Quit
Cold turkey nicotine quit stops all nicotine on quit day—fast peak withdrawal that needs trigger plans, support, and sleep planning for the first week.
Cold turkey nicotine quit stops all nicotine on a set day—no taper—relying on support, trigger plans, and short-term symptom management. Peak withdrawal hits fast; sleep and irritability need extra planning for three to seven days.
Works best when intake is moderate and life stress is manageable. Heavy dual users often fare better with structured taper or NRT.

Is cold turkey harder than tapering nicotine?
