It's one hell of a test of willpower, but I probably wouldn't have made it this far without coming down with bronchitis.

I quit smoking over two weeks ago, yet I'm still getting daily urges to smoke. Does anyone know how long it actually is until the cravings stop and it is completely out of your body? Some sources say it's one to two weeks, but it's been 17 days and I still want to light up.It's one hell of a test of willpower, but I probably wouldn't have made it this far without coming down with bronchitis.
I quit 5 years ago and I still get urges to smoke when I go out drinking.
I don't think they ever completely stop. But they do decrease in intensity. Just keep up the faith and don't ever compromise yourself.

Too late 
Seriously, it's the hardest thing I've ever had to do. To think that the damn cravings won't end anytime soon makes me want to just say "fuck it" and light up. I'm gonna go and chew some gum and blow shit up on my moonkin to distract myself.

What I've heard is that cravings last a maximum of 15 minutes before your brain realizes you're not going to cave in and it gives up. When a craving hits, find something to do to pass the time as quickly as possible. Those 15 minutes seem like forever, though.

I had a pretty wicked case of diahrrea, which is a listed side effect of the medication I'm taking to heal erosions in my stomach lining.

Well, at least you won't get a hemorrhoid from diarrhea.

They pass. Whining about them to people you know won't let you cave in will help though.
What Xyrra said is damn true too. Someone else will help you a lot in staying off them.

Nicotine has a one hour half-life.
It's generally completely purged from your body after two or three days.
Scratch that, I was both right and wrong. The nicotine IS gone after 3 days along with major withdrawal symptoms like "the shakes", but brain chemistry remains altered for about one month.
Also, once you quit, you can drink half as much caffeine and get the same effect. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 09-07-2007 at 06:38 PM.
