Many people like to see instant results. The thing is though, when it comes to trying to quit smoking, not everyone is able to just quit cold turkey with no problems. Most people find that they do need a little bit of help in terms of a support group, educational books, or even quit smoking products or remedies. Still though, even these people tend to want to know what the timeline for quitting smoking that they can expect is. Sorry to say this, but there is no timeline that is forever set in stone.
There is not a person or a product out there that can guarantee that in a certain number of days, you will be cigarette free, and cravings free. The amount of time that it takes for you to get to this point will vary from everyone else. Everyone has a body and system that is slightly different from the next person. In addition, your own personal thoughts and how motivated you are to stop smoking will play a big part in your personal quitting smoking timeline.
The best thing that you can do for yourself is to not worry so much about the timeline and focus more on a product that is going to help you see this through. You also want to make sure that you have the support of those around you who care. With the combination of these two things plus the belief in yourself, you will find that your quitting smoking timeline is a lot quicker than you may have ever thought.

Quitting smoking cold turkey?
Hey everyone,
I have a question about the “quitting smoking timeline”….
http://www.stqp.org/quitsmokingtimeline.asp there’s a link if you don’t know what i’m talking about.
I used to smoke about half a pack a day (8-12 cigs, more if I was drinking). This past Monday at 10 AM, I had my “last cigarette” and went cold turkey. Since then, I have slipped up four times (2 while drinking, 2 in a long car ride with other people who smoke– both big triggers for me). 4 cigarettes in a week isn’t so bad, when I used to smoke 4 packs a week.
Anyway, I was wondering, as far as the timeline goes- do those numbers apply to the last time I had a cigarette (yesterday at 6 PM) or when I stopped my heavy smoking habits (Monday at 10 AM)?
Thanks!
The time line resets after you stop smoking again, and disease continues because the damage to the body is cumulative. No matter what you benefit when you stop completely.
Great blessings to you to do this: I did quit COLD TURKEY, however, drinking had to go at the time because drinking and smoking “friends” were not interested at all in my health or welfare.I had to refurbish my life to have better health.
