Get answers to common questions about quitting smoking.
How long does nicotine withdrawal last?
Physical nicotine withdrawal symptoms typically peak within the first week and subside over 2-4 weeks. However, psychological cravings can last longer. Using nicotine replacement therapy can help manage these symptoms.
What is the most effective way to quit smoking?
Research shows that a combination approach is most effective: medication (like NRT or prescription drugs) plus behavioral support. A personalized quit plan that addresses your specific triggers and habits can significantly increase your chances of success.
Will I gain weight when I quit smoking?
Some people do experience weight gain (typically 5-10 pounds) when quitting smoking. This is due to improved taste and smell, oral fixation, and metabolic changes. However, this can be managed with healthy eating habits and regular physical activity.
How many quit attempts does it typically take?
Most people make several quit attempts before succeeding permanently. Each attempt is a learning experience that increases your chances of success next time. Don't view previous attempts as failures, but as steps toward your smoke-free future.
Is vaping a good way to quit smoking?
While some smokers have successfully used e-cigarettes to quit, the FDA has not approved them as smoking cessation devices. If you choose to use vaping to quit, consider it a transitional tool and develop a plan to eventually quit vaping as well.
