How long does it take to get over addiction to nicotine?

Answer 1

It depends on the person's level or addiction and will and dedication to get over the addiction as well.

The more you smoke the harder its is to over come nicotine addiction. If you do smoke a lot, normally more than 10 cigarettes a day, try cutting down to less than 10. Hopefully, you will be able to free yourself more easliy from nicotine addiction. If you have stopped smoking, it take about 5 days for all the nicotine to leave your body.

The answer above refers to nicotine in your system..nicotine addiction deals with your minds desire to have nicotine in your system. I can't give you an answer, don't think anyone could since all our bodies are different...but I was on 2 packs a week...not much by smoker standards, and its been 2 1/2 months since I quit..I still have cravings every now and then, specially when I drink...just have to sit still and let it wash over you after a minute or two it WILL go away...and someday it will be gone forever.

Answer 2

It depends on your genes. Some people have an "addictive" gene that is stimulated after only one cigarette (yes this gene is proven and people can be shown to become addicted after just one cigarette). As you don't know what genes you have in you, it could be one cigarette. It could be 20. You just cannot tell.

Answer 3

There is no correct answer. Everyone is different. Some people will smoke only in social siuations and never feel the need to smoke at other times. But for most of us, once you are addicted you can not keep your emotions in control unless you have a schedule of nicotine.
The best thing to do is never find out...

When you become uncomfortable and fidgety without a smoke, then relax when you have a few puffs, you are addicted. The time varies, depending on how often you smoke and how much. A few smokers smoke so seldom that they never become addicted, but they are rare.

1, but you might think it could be after 5 or so, but to get that far you would've already be addicted.
