Nicotine withdrawal can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on an individual's level of addiction. Generally, the most intense symptoms occur during the first week after quitting, with cravings and other withdrawal symptoms gradually getting less intense over time. However, it is not uncommon for some people to experience cravings and other forms of withdrawal for months after quitting. It is important to remember that everyone has a unique experience when it comes to nicotine withdrawal and the length of time it lasts.

Nicotine withdrawal can last for weeks or even months after quitting smoking. This is because the body needs time to adjust to the absence of nicotine and to break the physical addiction. Symptoms of nicotine withdrawal can include cravings, irritability, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, and insomnia. Managing nicotine withdrawal can be done by engaging in activities that help distract the mind from cravings, such as physical exercise, spending time with family and friends, or engaging in hobbies. Additionally, nicotine replacement therapies such as patches or gum can also be used to help manage the physical and mental cravings.
