Where Does the Term "Quit Smoking Cold Turkey" Come From?
After all the feathers are removed from a bird, the skin looks bumpy. So "going cold turkey" refers to the appearance of turkey skin.
Humans do not have feathers but they do have hairs, and when those hairs stand on end it is called piloerection or "goose flesh" (another reference to the skin of a plucked bird).
Opiate withdrawal symptoms include piloerection and it is so common when heroin addicts stop using the drug suddenly, that this type of withdrawal is called "going cold turkey".
In the English language the term is now applied to any process that includes sudden versus gradual withdrawal.
When you stop smoking suddenly or quit smoking cold turkey, you may or may not experience goose bumps or goose flesh. It is not one of the common smoking withdrawal symptoms.
However, you may experience many other effects of quitting smoking that are similar to opiate withdrawal symptoms.
