As far as I know each craving only lasts a couple minutes....In the long term I think everyone is different....I quit in Feb, and altho the craving is not bad, I still want a cigarette.....

Hi Lang, getting cravings is a positive sign of you stopping smoking. I agree with Linda in that the craving only actually lasts a couple of minutes. The longer you go without smoking the less intense the cravings will be, until eventually they will stop. I believe that if you have stopped smoking for your own reasons and not for somebody else's, you will find that the cravings will stop sooner. For some people it can last only weeks, for some it may be months. Given time it will get easier and the benefits will far outweigh the consequences. Try to say positive and remember that the cravings will go away, whether you have a cigarette or not. Take care and well done.

Mine lasts from 3 minutes to 7 minutes.

I have a sweet and try and keep reminding myself of why i'm doing this in the first place.

Good luck with it x
