Hi heart rehab, good for you 73 days thats great,i dont think anybody can really give an answer on how long the cravings will last for.I know somebody who has not smoked for 2 yrs he still gets the odd craving.Its the mind playing games with u, keep up the willpower and u will beat the cravings.Ive heard some people say that when they get a craving they clean there teeth,and it helps them.

Hi Heart Rehab. I hate to say it but I have a friend whose dad gave up 20 years ago & says he still gets the urge on odd occasions when he gets a whiff of someone puffing. Strange as it sounds but it is true. Obviously those urges wouldn't be as bad as someone who gave up last week.

I don't think there is a set answer for it. Unfortunately I think we will all have urges for many years in different ways. Just have to laugh at the way the mind can play these little games with us really!!

Keep going. 73 days is well on the way. I'll be stoked when I'm that far down the track.
