I quit smoking yesterday. Does anyone know how long until you don't desire a cigarette.?

Question:

I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind. I've been a smoker for approximately 28 years. So, I just quit with the help of laser therapy. But I just want that after meal cigarette craving to stop. That's the worst for me. Anybody have any suggestions?

Answers:
I can relate to this 1000% I did not do the laser I used the patch and nicatrol inhalers (as your Dr. they are RX only) the inhalers help with the crave and the hand mouth habit. I also chew allot of gum... sugar free. Good luck and if you can make it through the first 72 hrs it gets a little better.

Never.

Seriously - you will always crave smoking to some degree or another.
Generally after about 2 to 6 weeks the addictive effect of the nicotine has
been washed from your system, but your brain has been fundamentally
altered, so it will always want it.

However, after 2 to 6 weeks, it will be much easier to forget about the
craving. We all have cravings from our childhood that we simply put
asside because we have to - smoking will eventually be like those.

However, you may find from time to time that a whiff of cigarette smoke
makes it all come back - at least for a short time.

You can do it, however. Millions have and the statistics on mortality
after quitting smoking are remarkable - and I've seen what the lung
of someone who has been smoking for only 10 years looks like. Its
amazing how much your body can recover given a chance.

When was the last time the fact that you couldn't suckle your mother's
breast or run away from someone who was being verbally mean to you?

You can control these things. Its hard - but between the various meds
that are becoming available and the fact that its just getting more and
more annoying to find places to smoke, it isn't impossible.

Scratch the walls and yell at puppies for a few weeks. It will be worth it.

I promise!

I have no clue... but I do know that asking questions and doing this kind of research isnt going to keep your mind off of it. You are entertaining temptations still by thinking about it
