my boyfriend has been smoking for 10 years now, and he has decided to quit last year. but lately he puffs 3x to relieve his chest pains. will this in anyway help him really get the nicotine out of his system?

I quit smoking again a month ago. I had started up again after quitting for six months!! I couldnt believe I started again! Has this happened to other smokers too? Can I expect to quit for good now? Oh, and I have gone cold turkey each time, none of that substituting substances crap.

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.
