141. From NIH:

You may notice symptoms of nicotine withdrawal within 2 - 3 hours after you last use tobacco. People who smoked the longest or smoked a greater number of cigarettes each day are more likely to have withdrawal symptoms. For those who are quitting, symptoms will peak about 2 - 3 days later. Common symptoms include:

An intense craving for nicotine
Anxiety
Depression
Drowsiness or trouble sleeping, as well as bad dreams and nightmares
Feeling tense, restless, or frustrated
Headaches
Increased appetite and weight gain
Problems concentrating

You may notice some or all of these symptoms when switching from regular to low-nicotine cigarettes or cut down on the number of cigarettes smoked.
