Withdrawl from THC and Nicotine
I was a chain smoker (15+ cigarette/day) from last 5 years. Also, got into daily addiction of weed from last 3 years. Finally, I've taken a step to quit both and I am sure I won't go back to them. I have good will power and I used to be a sportsman. It's been 3 weeks and I've not taken any substance. I am also not taking any replacement therapy. I am on my own and going cold turkey. Also, have been working out for half an hour daily and trying to keep up with hydration levels. Still I feel withdrawl symptoms. I have coughing and blackish phelgm. Also, my sleep cycle has disturbed. I don't feel energetic. My stomach and body aches at times but it's bearable. Anger level is high but manageable. My questions are : How long it might take for physical symptoms to go? Do I need any medication or should see a doctor? Is will power and healthy lifestyle enough?

I can understand your problem, it is tough to quit smoking and it does take its toll on the mind and body. It might take few weeks for your body to adapt. As for medications please see a Psychiatrist. U can try Nicotex gum Cipla which can be used as a replacement for Nicotine. Mind you it is possible to get hooked to Nicotex too!!! Yes people have quit smoking on will power. Understand and accept that these are withdrawal symptoms which will go away as your body adapts to the lower levels of Nicotine.
