the sooner you quit the better. no timeline. just quit, cold turkey. you might be bitchy or stressed for a couple days but once you get over the "3 day hump", most people are ok.
lifetime of lessoned chances of lung cancer. plus, immediately you smell much better. smoking is gross.
umm u feel like you wana smoke then if you stop umm idk dont ask me
Nothing, it takes a few years for your lungs to be back to normal from smoking.
Not thats its anything you need to worry about .
I can tell you that this coming Monday will be 4 weeks since I quit. And alllll last week I would have sworn I was pregnant! Serious nausea in the evenings no matter what I did. (I smoked the most at night). Turns out the nicotine was finally getting out of my system. I can't tell you hour by hour, but the longer you go the better you will feel. My chest doesn't hurt as bed either. Make it through the first 4 weeks and you should be good!
Good for you!

Don't give up.
A lot of right answers here, IMO. The best one is there is definitely no time line on the actual "health benefit" of quitting. The second you stop, the better it is for you and you are doing your body a great service. Even past 72 hours, per your question, you probably still won't feel better health wise. Your body will be going through a major withdrawal period that is unavoidable. During this time, you are going to feel really lousy. You can try and control the withdrawal with the patch or Nicorette or stuff like that, but it doesn't help all that much. That's why a lot of people can't handle quitting and go right back to it. In combination with eating well and exercising, it could be weeks to months before you start "feeling" the benefits of not smoking anymore. Your body will become more hydrated and your cardiovascular and lung health will be improved.
