I have heard 72 hrs. That was also how long that I was a real PAIN IN THE A@@. After that is a long period of still wanting to smoke. It was 7 YEARS before I completely lost the desire to smoke. Now I've been smoke free for 25 years.

It also took many attempts before this last time.

Good Luck!!

Unconfirmed report of about 6 months based on 1 pack a day.

From my research it depends on how much you smoked per day and how long you have been a smoker. For those who smoke only once in a while 72 hours is right, otherwise it can take several months.
