These were my symptoms:
At eight hours: Nerves were figity, wanted a smoke.
At 24 hours: Skin was crawling, mouth was dried out, felt like I was going to be sick.
At 72 hours: Three days of living hell, felt sick as a dog. Could not concentrate on a damn thing.
At Three months: Felt great, the worst passed after about a week. By three months it wasn’t an hour by hour thing, only thought about a smoke several times a day.
At 4 months: Quit hacking up those phlem balls from my lungs.
At 13 years: I only get the urge when I smell a freshly lit cigarette. After that it’s nauseating.
13 years....good to hear your story....food tastes better too, now, right?
