I quit smoking 24 days ago and I don't physically feel any better. I even started walking 30 min a day and still don't feel better.

I smoked for 17 years, 1 to two packs a day. I was in the Air Force and just barely passed the annual PT test which was a 1-1/2 mile run with a time limit depending on your age. I thought I was going to die after that run and they almost called an ambulance for me. I quit smoking and the following year I breezed through the test. It took nearly two years before I no longer felt that urge to reach for a smoke. If you think about your ability to do physical tasks that task your breathing, before quitting and currently, I think you'll notice a gradual improvement every few weeks. Keep at it. The temptation to restart is there for a year or two. It's just a matter of whether you really want to give yourself and those around you a better environment and healthy life or not. one of my sisters wouldn't stop smoking and died of lung cancer three years ago. She's the only person in our family to have lung cancer. All the rest either never smoked or quit years ago.
GOOD LUCK

It's not an overnight turn of events that will make you feel better all of a sudden. One thing I noticed that my lung capacity increased after a few months. I could do flights of stairs and still have lots of energy and strength to keep going. I wouldn't look for big differences, it's the small ones that add up to make your overall health better. And btw, congratulations on quitting. I know it's hard. My one year anniversary is in 2 days, and I still think about smoking at times, but I'm very happy I've quit! Keep up the good work, and enjoy the new you!

Well it all depends on how long you smoked. In fact you are probably feeling better now, but maybe you are a little tense because you are not smoking anymore and can't really feel the difference... but believe me, your body is working to repair some of the damage and soon you will be a totally different person. You are walking, and maybe you feel a little too tired when you finish... you'll see the difference when you run instead of walking, and you are going to feel good... one day you'll regret you ever smoked.
Maybe you feel a little lighter now? you don't smell like smoke all day, your hair and skin will look better, and you won't have abad breath again because of it.
There's som many reasons why you should quit smoking.... don't go back to it. Once... when I smoked, i offered a friend one cigarette, (just courtesy), and he said... "Hey, I wouldn't try to kill you"

after 30 days and you won't have any more strong cravings and it can take a year or so to clear it all out of your lungs and it depends on how long you smoked and how much damage has already been done.
I quit cold turkey 10 years ago. Today, I can't even stand the smell of it, I can smell it on my grandson when he comes to visit.
It smells bad and I think My kids must have smelled like that.
When I walk into somewhere where there is smoking or they have smoked I can't stand the smell or how it yellows your teeth and walls and curtains in your home. you will feel better and breathe easier over time.

Technically you are going to feel like crap. But keep in mind that as soon as 24 hours after quitting smoking your lungs start to heal from the damage smoking has done to them..They start to get their healthy pink color back. Within a few days food will start to taste better because it won't have the nicotine blocking those receptors in your brain that affect your taste buds. These are just a couple examples of the healing your body is already doing. While you may not feel the greatest, your body is beginning to heal and is thanking you for the decision you have made. Best of luck to you.

Remember you damaged your body considerably. You will respond and you will heal. It may take awhile, probably no less then 2 months. I smoked for 33 years, quit 10 years ago and it was almost a year before I really felt better. But the last 9 have been great. I am 59 years old my pulse is 50-60 my bp is 130/62. So I do believe it helped. Stick with, please. Don't go back. Get help if you need it, but don't go back.

I think it depends on how much you were smoking when you quit
My BIL was smoking 3 packs a day, he started feeling better after about a year
I quit a 5 pack a day habit, I started feeling better after 15 months
