Understanding How Long Nicotine Stays in Your Body
shared by Brian
To quit smoking it is important to understand how long nicotine stays in your body. When you stop smoking, nicotine will be gone from your body somewhere between 3 and 5 days.
The 3 to 5 day period in which my body was ridding itself of nicotine was a tremendously difficult and painful period to go through. It is important to know that this feeling does not last forever. After 5 days, you will feel much, much better and the pain is gone.
Breaking the physical addiction to nicotine is the first step to quit smoking and understanding that it only last three to five days is a very important. Once you are over the physical addiction, the more difficult battle of beating the psychological and behavioural addiction to smoking begins.
