If you still don't feel the effects of nicotine withdrawal, you may not have long to wait. Usually, nicotine leaves your body on the third day, which is when withdrawal symptoms are at their worst. Most withdrawal symptoms occur within the first week. Symptoms usually disappear after two to four weeks. Cravings, however, may last longer.
Focus on perseverance
Be kind to yourself — things may not work out the way you want, so don't hesitate to ask for help. In the meantime, remember your wins — it will help you to keep going.
