Anything that your body is used to running on is an addiction. For example sugar. When you have maintained a certain sugar level and try to change that level your body is used to, your body will crave it until it reaches the sugar level it has become used to. Only after stopping for a couple weeks will your body aclimate to the new levels.
Until then, you will be irritable. The mood swings can be very severe. Nicotine is only an addiction because of the longevity that your body has run on it. You dont smoke one cigarette and are suddenly addicted. Your body has to aclimate to it. Once it does, and then you try to stop your body is starving for it. That applies whether it is nicotine, fat, sugar, whatever.
CRU, you are almost there.
