I smoked for years and years and stopped 12 years ago. It took me about 6 months to really get where I wasn't tempted to just light up.I did a lot of praying, because I had 2 doctor to tell me they thought I had a lung disease and I prayed to the good Lord if he would help I would never smoke again. My medical report turn out that I was okay. The promise I made help me through quitting one of the worst addiction.I think since it only 4 years, it might not take as long. lol

Many people will continue to wake up in the morning wanting a cigerett for up to about two years.
For some, it might only last a few months (about six at the min) and some a year.
I dont smoke, so I cant really tell you more then that.
The trick is to fight the urge, and keep it up. You can tell yourself to just stop thinking about it. And once you have it out of habbit, youll be fine

I quit and I havent had a cigarette in 13 months now. I smoked for 10 years. I got real sick and just quit. I craved for the first week or two and that was about it. I was around people who smoked too. Its not hard if you really want to quit.

I smoked for 20 years and 4 years ago tried the patch and it worked the first time. The first week is the hardest, I did not recognize myself, I was nasty with everyone. I still have cravings but they do not last too long. Good luck

The major craving disappears in about 2 weeks. The urge can still be their for at least a year. The first two weeks are the hardest after that just resist that occasional temptation.

I used to smoke for about 2 years and quit cold turkey. I saw an episode in Oprah where Dr. Oz showed the audience lungs from a smoker and that scared the **** out of me.
