Because smoking is a form of addiction,
80% percent of smokers who quit usually experience some withdrawal symptoms

irritability. People become so irritable, in fact, that they say the feel "like
killing some body". Yet there in no evidence that quitting smoking leads to
physical violence. Some people seem to lose all their energy and drive, wanting only to sleep. Others react in exactly the opposite way. Becoming so over energized that they can’t find enough activity to burn off their excess energy. For instance, one woman said she cleaned out all her closets completely and was ready to go next to start on her neighbor’s. Both these extremes, however, eventually, the symptoms may be intense for two or three days, but within 10 to 14 days after quitting, most subside (平静下来). The truth is that after people quit smoking, they have more energy, they generally will need less sleep, and feel better about themselves. Quitting smoking not only extends the ex-smoker’s life. but adds new happiness and meaning to one’s current life.

If the patient quits before a serious disease has developed, his/her body may eventually be able to restore itself almost completely. |
A:To tell us that smokers will be over-energetic B:To indicate that smokers have to participate in some activities to help quit smoking C:To show that the smokers who quit will go to extremes D:To claim that smokers will be very helpful once the quit smoking
