I think years ago I had read some info that after no smoking for 72 hours then its all in your head. The nicotine is out of your system. Im not sure if that really is correct but it did help me to quit. After 3 days I kept tellingmyself it was all in my head I wanted to smoke. Hope that helps alittle. I know its not easy but you can do it.
