I quit smoking at the end of September. Here lately, I have had a terrible smokers cough for about the past 3 weeks. I have heard from several people that you will cough for quite a while to clear your lungs of all of the tar (I was a pack a day smoker for 8 years). Does anyone know approximatley how long this is supposed to last? It is driving me insane!

I quit smoking 3 months ago, and I still get really bad cravings. It takes everything I have not to start up again. I am also worried because I have heard people say that they quit for a year and then started up again. How do I prevent this form happening to me.

How long after you quit smoking will it show up in blood or urine test? I quit smoking for almost 2 yrs and then smoked cigarettes for a couple weeks and now quit again.

I know each person is different, but about how long does it take for the cravings to go away. I can restraint from a cigarette for 8 hours each day at work, and have gone as long as 12 hours when I was on a trip with students. However, the minute the opportunity arises I’m having a cigarette. I crave the act of smoking much more than the nicotine I recieve from it (nicotine gum makes me crave a cigarette). I’ve tried to quit unsuccessfully and find if I don’t have access to them, the nicotine cravings occur about every 4-6 hours while the craving for a cigarette occurs ever 15-30 minutes. How long would it take for these cravings to disappear?
If you don’t understand the difference between craving a cigarette and craving the nicotine I don’t really know how to explain it to a non-smoker. Sorry.

I quit smoking two weeks ago (smoker for 17 yrs) and ever since I have woke up in the morning with a sore throat. I have also put on a lot of weight ( about a stone) despite eating healthy snacks (grapes, melon etc). I am starting to feel any health benefits I have gained from stopping have been undone by the extra weight I now carry. How long will it be before I actually feel any benefits from stopping ? Any ideas on how to boost my morale and feel good about quitting?

I quit smoking recently and I need to go to the dentist. I don’t want him to know I ever smoked because it’s embarrassing. How long would it take for the signs of my folly to be erased? I smoked about a year and have quit about two weeks.
