Frequently asked questions
Will quitting make my stress worse at first?
Withdrawal can mimic anxiety for 1–2 weeks. If anxiety is severe, persistent, or includes panic attacks, seek medical support—do not self-diagnose from a webpage.
Should I quit during a crisis?
Sometimes delaying 7–14 days to stabilize sleep and basics is wiser—use that window to prep, not to keep smoking indefinitely.
What is the fastest craving move under stress?
Change temperature (cold water), change location, start a 3-minute timer, and do one physical action (stairs, pushups, brisk walk).
Can apps help stress smokers?
Yes—if they shorten the gap between urge and action. Blou is built around fast craving support plus visible progress.
