How Long Do Nicotine Cravings Last? 

After 37 years of smoking, and probably close to 100 attempts at quitting. I read One random article about your method of quitting, & actually Stopped on Oct. 3rd at 11:50am, & can't thank you enough for these videos. As far as cravings, I have not found anything that lessens them for me. I simply write down, or say out loud, "It's a 37 year old mental habit, nothing more, nothing less." I've made it this far, and will continue my successful smoke-free life 😁❤❤

It’s my second day guy. Please pray for me. I have been smoking for 9 years (ever since I was 15. I’m now 24) diagnosed with HBP, hiatal hernia, and extreme anxiety and panic attacks. I should stop now before it’s too late.

I am still at stage 2 of the cbq method; and i wrote my thoughts on how to enter and manage stage 3; your videos are helping me, please pray for me to quit successfully

Hi Nadia. I wanted to revisit your site to let you and everyone here know that it was your videos that helped me to finally quit smoking almost 11 months ago. Like S17 below, I stumbled on one of your videos back in mid-November 2020 and finally quit on November 30th, 2020. After 40 years of heavy smoking (1.5 packs per day at least), I finally can say that I did it. I'm looking forward to celebrating next month. Thank you. To everyone out there who is struggling to quit smoking, just know that you can do it. For some reason, this time I found it easy. Crazy, but true. I guess I was ready. Thank you, Nadia.

Oh and like Jersey Paul below, I also quit drinking at the same time which, I believe, was the most important reason behind my success this time. Cigarettes and booze go hand in hand and once you have that first drink, it becomes almost impossible to maintain your smoking quit so I decided it was time to stop both. There were a few times when I thought about smoking, but I know now that even one smoke means back to being a slave to the nicotine addiction. Good luck to everyone.

I'm 6 months smoke free

Watching your videos remind me how silly cravings are and how nothing will happen if I ignore them. You are the best, Nasia!

I am ready to stop smoking. I started with 49yrs, never smoked before. Now I am 55yrs old and from 2moro on 11.1.2021 I WILL stop smoking and get my life back! Thank you for your videos!! Greetings from Germany!

I am 5 days in no smoking taking no nicotine substitutes and the physical craving has started to reduce alot. I am very happy with this after 5 days . Also my chest feels much better . Do not take any nicotine products just do a week of cold turkey and man up

I just found this woman today, and I think she’s gonna be what changes my life. I know it is elemental, I’ve been smoking for 30 years and a quick before for 8. For some reason this time around as much harder, and what’s even worse is I know it’s all mental and habit changing. But somehow, she explains this all in a way that my brain can except, and even adjust to everyone is different, I feel like this method may work for me, of course, with patches for a couple of weeks.

Great job Nadia. We are all different, but when I quit smoking I also cut down on drinking, sugar and caffeine as well. I also don’t weigh myself. I have been working out harder since I quit and my pants are a bit looser. I don’t want to get on a scale and it upsets me and I go back to smoking. It’s a struggle quitting smoking no matter what you do!

I've been a smoker for 27 years. Day 2 of giving up using just the patches. My nerves feel frayed, I feel anxious for a few minutes multiple times a day and I feel like I'm actually in a mild grief! However, my mouth feels cleaner already, I feel hopeful about becoming a non smoker, I'm looking forward to see the money I save and most importantly, my kids are really happy with me. I've gone two days already, I could never have imagined even getting this far so I'm even more determined to continue and not go back. Good luck to all the other ex smokers that see this comment as they fight their nicotine addiction. I believe in you.

Να σαι καλά Νάντια . Εκπέμπεις πραγματικά θετική ενέργεια. Μόλις έκοψα το κάπνισμα πριν 20ωρες για την ακρίβεια και πραγματικά πέραν του ότι έμαθα πληροφορίες που δεν έχω βρει πουθενά αλλού η διάθεση σου ,ο τρόπος και η ενέργεια που εκπέμπεις όταν μιλάς πραγματικά μου έφτιαξαν τη διάθεση και με χαλάρωσαν. Α επίσης λατρεύω τη προφορά σου και το τρόπο που χειρίζεσαι τη γλώσσα ❤️

the brain fog is really killing me i feel like im paralised and cant concentrate at all at university 😕

OK! So after 42 years of smoking, I have decided now is the time. "Mind Power" over "Will Power", that will be my mantra. Wish me luck.

Thank you for saving my life.

This is the best video on quitting smoking.

OMG, this is so super helpful! After 51 years 4 pack a day, I quit. I really decided. I knew the first 3 days would be the worst. During those three days, I researched and got the heads up that days 5-7 were no joke. Right. headaches, insomnia, sweating as if I was constantly running a marathon. I made it! But day 8? hideous! It was as if my brain was revolting, and I could not stop the obsession of getting a cigarette. I failed completely because I wasn't prepared for that! I thought I was out of the woods. sigh. SO disappointed in myself! Now I have to start over, but this time I need a plan for days 8-30 where I hope I can tell my idiot self that I am NOT going back! I admit I am not looking forward to going through all that again, but I choose to be free, dammit! Oh, and watch out for the constantly running nose, sneezing, pain, etc. That first week is a b_tch! But know that while you are going through that? you are winning. And I will win too.

My dear nasia I m at 4th day of quiting . It's all can be possible because of you. U have miracle which apply every people who is watching your video . Thank u so much for making me happy and giving me freedom from tobacco . God bless you . Please translate video in hindi language also .

My husband says for him, it's usually as simple as "I don't do that anymore," or "I'll have a peppermint instead." Pretty much redirects his train of thought. When I've wanted to smoke, I've said "I don't want to smoke because ___________." Lower blood pressure, relieve anxiety from not having one, breathing better. I've posted a list of all the reasons I want to quit on the wall, and I just go down the checklist.

You are absolutely adorable, I look forward to in trusting your method. Started smoking again after 28 year of not, with a divorce after 35 years of marriage. So, here I am, in trusting your method. I’m watching and thank you so much.

3:54 to hear what you actually needed

Thanks for your videos, they are the best. I'm so close to getting free than I've ever been before. I'm taking it gradually, and now that I'm on my way to being free and without having severe withdrawals.

I have had so many attempts of being nicotine free and quitting vaping forever, I stoped vaping after watching your videos, it helped me a lot, i was nicotine free for 3 months, then i relapsed again, I came back here to try again and this time successfully succeed, thank you for your videos .

Thank you so much l have made it. All your videos are helpful to me❤🙏🏻😊

Over a month just after these videos on RU-vid..

I'm in love with you for saving so many peoples lifes. Thank you.

Thank you so much

Your videos have been helping me I'm on 1 month smoke free. I am so afraid of failure tho.

Thank you Nasia! I'm now 1 and a half months smoke free, your videos have been extremely helpful, I look forward to your videos! One question please,, if I still use 3 nicotine gum/ lozenge a day, is all the nicotine out of my body? ( or am I prolonging this physical state?) I will try your mind power more 😃🙃

This is a good video

U r 💯% right mam..💐💐

I started smoking at 16 I’m 22 now I’m no longer a smoker it’s only day one but iv noticed if I keep telling myself that “I’m not a smoker” instead of “I’m quitting” it makes it easier I’m literally changing my identity instead of just trying to stop hope this helps someone els working for me

I need to try this method, I would like your opinion if chantix or tabex would help. I smoked 40 yrs, quit for 10, and started again when I retired because of boredom or just because it helps pass time. When I quit I used chantix and developed extreme anxiety and was on clonopin for 10 years. The only way to get off clonopin wa to start smoking again. Now I'm apprehensive about trying to quit again. My brain is locked into smoking as a lifestyle so I hope I can rewire it.

Day 1 17.07.2022 10:45 pm. 6 hours since last tobacco. Mouth: feeling weird. Brain: only thinking about having one.

Cravings are like house burglars, leave open windows and doors and they enter uninvited, lock them and they don’t get in, the second you feel a craving, lock the door ( change the thought focus to something else). I’m quitting as we speak and my coping mechanism is talking about smoking when I’m craving, because I openly remember why I’m quitting and I picture the benefits…. It’s easy to quit if you want to quit,I’m a smoker of 25 years, and already feel amazing for quitting

Ok this past week I started a antibiotic... Out of the blue I started getting cigarette cravings. I haven't smoked for almost 2 months. Just don't understand where they came from. Or why I'm getting this after 2 months of not smoking... Could it be from the medications?

You're so pretty so I learn from you the most 💜 lol

I've been smoke free for 3 months but nicotine free for only 4 days. I thought that by beating the smoking habit first I'd find it easier to quit nicotine, but as of day 4 I feel anxious all the time and can't focus on anything except my desire for an NRT product. I will beat it this time though.

Please can you send me what your says as PDF ?!

I am quitting smoking while I am on a 7 day fast.... I just decided I was done with it. The cravings are rough though.

My only problem is sleeping, about the cravings I pass them easily but... can't sleep at night without take nicotine from snooze or iqos, because I quitted usual cigarettes...Please give me advice what to do about the sleep...

Last time I quit I was nicotine free for 6 months but the cravings just didn't diminish at all. They were as intense as day 1. If I knew at what time they subside then I could make it but it just seems to go on forever.

I Took my last cigerette on 28.feb.2022 @11:55 pm.. Till now 71.5 hours without cigerettes, .. In real, cravings are at peak while writing this Comment. May Allah help me to get well soon and led A smoke free life. Aameen.. ......... MDSR WANI. IND 192122. 03.03.2022. 11:34 pm.

It will be 2 weeks for me Wednesday and I’m still craving a smoke.I’m only quitting because I’m trying to conceive but once that’s done I want to smoke

hello nasia...i want to quit from today after 10 o clock...date of 13-3-23 in the night 10 o clock...i will give you everyday information on my comments..thanks

With your accent, when you say "cravings" I'm not sure if you mean nicotine or blood 😅 I'm just kidding. I love your channel, it's been very helpful in my quitting journey. I'm 28 days nicotine-free and won't be going back to using any nicotine products 😊

Will I have mental cravings forever?

Is cbq method work on chewing tobacco

Dont pressure yourself too much because quitting forever sounds intimidating for most. What helps is keeping a pack in your pocket for as long as you need to that way if you feel like you want a cig its in your pocket. If you remove cigs from within your reach guess what the cravings will be stronger to fight off. If you need to put a cig in your mouth do it just dont light it so you can get that mouth to hand motion. If you light it guess what nothing happened you didnt fail learn to think positive. The key is to start limiting the amount of hits you take. Your body only craves the amount of nicotine you introduce to it. In the morning thank Jesus Christ for another day then if you usually have coffee instead of taking 12 drags start counting your hits. Take 10 drags instead do this for a couple days. By wed take 8 hits do that till Friday. Monday take 6 drags do this till the weekend. Monday take 5 drags do this till the weekend. Monday take 4 drags do this till fri now friday morning when you make your coffee you will look back and say wow I only need 4 drags instead of 12 what happened why does 4 drags feel like 12? Lol that's because you have successfully trained your body to 4 drags and the body feels as satisfied as it once did when you had 12 drags. 3 weeks passed by now you're ready for the next step which is eliminating that morning cig. Monday if you still need to, go ahead and take 3 drags and dont toss it away, put it out and save it at the end of the day you will have many half smoked cig and you will notice that you still feel the same but look at how many DRAGS you saved yourself from taking by limiting and COUNTING your hits. Do this till wed. By fri dont take any drags instead tell your cravings that the pack is in my pocket I can have a cig anytime but I will have it later on. Dont get rid of your cigs keep them with you that way you limit your cravings because we tend to want things more when they are further away from us. Repeat this cycle for all your times you have a cig whether its morning, lunch break evening or in between. Start by limiting the amount of nicotine you put in your body and I guarantee you in 1 month you WILL be down to 2 cig a DAY. And by 2 cig I mean anywhere between 10-20 DRAGS a day. Remember cigs arent measured by how many you light but by the drags you inhale. If you fail just go back to the basics Start with 5 drags for a week then down to 3 for another week and you will have a much more pleasant time cutting down or quitting all together. If it worked for me this method will work for YOU too. The key is to take it easy do NOT beat yourself up. God bless you in Jesus name Amen. We can do all things thru CHRIST who strengthens us. YOU GOT THIS🙏❤

It’s been 15 hours of my last cigarette … let’s do it man .. I won,t quit quitting

It's been 14 days since i've cut out JUULing / all nicotine (cold-turkey). I still have intense nicotine cravings all day.

I was in hospital recently and that gave me the idea to use thought against myself. I quit three weeks ago today. If I get a craving, instead of subconsciously inhaling and getting that light headed dizzy spell from not having had a smoke for a long time. I imagine and try to visualise a nurse pushing a tube down my throat, I can hear her saying you’re doing well, keep swallowing. I have even found myself not only swallowing but also holding my breath for a couple of seconds because of the tube. Now I only get a craving once maybe twice a day and I smoked 50 yep 50 a day for 39 years. The bonus is each time I have a craving it reinforces to me that my option is to not have that smoke (and I take it as one smoke at a time) or have THAT smoke and face the tube. You will find those cravings disappear from your mind real fast. It’s working for me. Good luck everyone.

She's perfect...the accent too 🤦🏻‍♂️....I'd quit for u too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Are you that yoga girl that kept going viral back in 2010’s?

How long craving Last solid answer?

does using the tablets reduce inflammation

How many days craving lasting

my cravings last 5-15 mins then pass its not that bad,I like doing a workout or drinking water

I use nicotine for my depression instead of using medication. I can't stop now

Some people say cravings last forever is it true?

Its just the same illusion as my marriage,hahaha

It just foesnt go well with your vid .

My problem is I've found a legitimate medical use for nicotine, so I'll probably always use it

It's been 21 days since I've had nicotine..... I get angry at literally everything. I do not like this. Feel like an impatient a-hole

And dont use lord of the rings examples leave it to nerds and children

Just a Copy paste material from the work of legendary "Allen Carr" . Just twisting and changing some words here and there. I see Mr Carr has made a lot of people's career. Good content though . Keep it up. Best of luck. Thanks ma'am.

U see when u wear black u are just more classy u dont need to be tricolour or worse multicolour

She takes to long to give the pertinent information

I cannot understand Whst the speaker is saying. I have hearing sids and heavy accents do not come in clearly. Waste of time unless we have a tape with another speaker or a text too bad am sure the information could be valuable.

Today is my 6th day smoke free after 22 years of smoking. I'm not fully over the cravings but i'm much better than day 1 and 2. I actually watched Extended Fellowship of the ring today lol

Don't speak so fast, it is hard to understand you.
