There are many articles on the internet about the making and/or breaking of habits. All kinds of habits - not just smoking.
Most suggest we can form a new habit in 21 to 28 days - though other research points to a period of 66 days.
I suspect the time differs from person to person - and the nature of the habit.
If you are interested in reading more - just type "how long to acquire a new habit" into 'Google'.
From personal experience - I'm surprised that I can now tap away at my computer keyboard without having a cigarette. Eight weeks ago I would have thought that was impossible. The bonus is I no longer have to 'hoover' my keyboard to remove all the bits of tobacco !
Perhaps some of the 'Penthouse' residents will confirm that breaking with an old habit doesn't remain a struggle for ever.
