Every smoker out there, who has ever thought of giving up smoking before knows, that there’s withdrawal symptoms from nicotine. Anyway most smokers are not sure about how long the withdrawal symptoms are going to last and they become afraid of not being able to stand them.

Did you know that the withdrawal symptoms themselves are not exactly what makes smokers afraid of failing. Most smokers are just afraid because they don’t know how long it is going to take until they can call themselves non-smokers, this means that knowing about the duration of nicotine withdrawal symptoms is the key for a successful smoking cessation. It is just like knowing how long it is going to take till you will reach your goal, or how much work you will have to put into it. Not knowing this makes smokers like you forget what they were working for. |

As you may already know, there’s two different types of nicotine withdrawal symptoms – the physical ones and the mental ones. Each type has it’s own characteristic manifestation. The duration can vary but you can say that the physical withdrawal symptoms are of a much shorter duration than the mental ones.

Physical withdrawal symptoms do usually not last for longer than 3 weeks. In a few cases they can take up to two months, but in many cases they don’t take longer than a few days, so withdrawal symptoms like sickness and headache are really nothing to be afraid of, it will go away quickly. Mental withdrawal symptoms are a little bit more complicated as they actively involve the brain. They are not painful, as they do not include any headache or any other aching, but they can make a smoker feel very uncomfortable. It is hard to tell how long the mental withdrawal symptoms are going to last, as it depends on every single person. In most cases the mental withdrawal symptoms are gone at 100% after 6 – 18 months. This sounds very long for a smoker, but in fact 80% of the time are easy to endure compared to the first few weeks without cigarettes. |
This means that only the first few weeks after the last cigarettes are difficult. After this period time seems to go by much faster and the urge to smoke decreases more and more. You must just not smoke a single cigarette during this time, as the brain has a so called "addiction memory". This addiction memory is being disabled during the first weeks after the last cigarette, but it can become active again if you smoke only one cigarette, and this effect can quickly lead you back to your old smoking habits.
