If you don’t understand the difference between craving a cigarette and craving the nicotine I don’t really know how to explain it to a non-smoker. Sorry.

it varies from people to people. I once knew someone, a neighbor who quit. I don’t know how long it took him- maybe 5 years or less, using the bitter gum that is supposed to help.He wanted a balloon from Home Town Buffet, for his success. Some people never quit. I’m a non smoker, by the way.

First of all, your body only needs 3 cigarettes to fulfill its nicotine addiction daily. If you can get through the first three days, you have pretty much quit. The hardest thing about quitting really is the psychological aspects of smoking. After the three days, your biggest craving will come from your psyche wanting to engage in the act of smoking. My suggestion, is as long as you can get past the initial quitting, buy yourself a pack or two of clove cigareetes. You can go through the action of smoking without the nicotine. Plus they smell so gross, that you will soon get past smoking those as well. If I could suggest anything, Zyban was the most help for me to quit. I had tried the patch, nicotine gum, laser treatment, accupressure…when I did the Zyban, there were some side affects, but getting through the first three days of quitting was a breeze in comparison to the last five times I had tried to quit. Good luck!! It really is worth it! PS depending on how long you smoked for, it could take six months to a year for you to stop thinking daily about smoking.
