i quit smoking over a year ago, but i have smoked since.

The cravings can last months dude. usually u will have cravings for life. Not physical cravings but psychological cravings.

You will be at a party and see someone smoking, if your drunk you may also be inclined to smoke.

Point is, it varies from person to person. Physical withdrawals can last like 2 weeks. Mental cravings can last years after.

I dont have cravings for cigs but if im drunk ill smoke them.

I smoked from 11 till 17 and quit over three and a half years ago. At first it was really hard to quit. I always took a walk when I felt like smoking a cigarette or just some other stuff to get your mind off the cigarettes. Im not quite sure anymore but I think the first few weeks were hard maybe months but I guess like after half a year or so I didnt even crave for cigarettes at all anymore (probably a few weeks earlier already)...and now I dunno I dont have any mental cravings at all anymore or anything (and havent had in a long time). like half a year ago I kinda started smoking a little again, but if I do its just cause Im drunk and I always just take one puff and each time I do I see how stupid smoking really is lol. Thats only happened like 3 or 4 times though.


It might be true that it depends on the type of person you are though. I never really felt comfortable when I was a smoker cause I always thought I should actually quit.
