Quit Smoking Timeline – The Cessation Day By Day

Filed under Quit Smoking Timeline
Here is a small overview of the quit day by day – your quit smoking timeline.
But first of all, I must remind you of a few things you should do in the days leading up to your smoking cessation. A really good idea is to bring together much of the last days of cigarette butts, in a glass jar or similar, and fill it just over halfway up with water. So if you are in an emergency where you are close to fall in, you can take a little sniffer, the smell in itself should give you a little extra time to regain the decision to stop … It is very disgusting, I can promise you.
Of course the quit smoking symptoms described below depends on whether or not you use quit smoking drugs, like quit smoking pills, quit smoking acupuncture or similar. But the stop smoking benefits – they are guaranteed.
Quit Smoking Timeline – Day 1
Then you’re on the road, you maybe feel a little strange, but it is quite normal, remember that it is a new feeling for you not to smoke all the time. Quite a few feels, as if they are about to be sick. You might also find it hard to concentrate, but remember that it is quite normal, and enjoy that your blood pressure, your blood circulation and your skin temperature is already normalized, and the risk of heart attack is diminished.
Quit Smoking Timeline – Day 2
Most are experiencing day 2 as being very restless, thinking often of smoking, and is probably also a bit annoying to be near. It is again quite normal and is just your body’s signals to you that it is starting to getting weaned from nicotine, your blood flowing also virtually unimpeded through the body again, and it can affect you in many ways, but you just have to push it to side, this should not be so difficult at this time.
Quit Smoking Timeline – Day 3
Today you will again begin to taste the things you put into the mouth, and could scents several shades … but physically it is here it begins to be difficult, your mind and your ego will try to fool you into thinking that this is the wrong decision you have taken, and your body will “scream after nicotine” …
Try instead to take a walk or a run, you already are in a better conditioning, and it would be good for you to get the pulse a bit raised.
Quit Smoking Timeline – Day 4
Now your body really starts reacting to the lack of nicotine, and many have constipation, or the opposite, it will be hard to find peace, and your throat and lungs started to become cleaner, and will probably cause you to cough slightly in the next day, it is a healthy sign, remember that your throat, have been really greasy in, and sticky for a long time, and you are not accustomed to a full functioning throat … Just hold out, in a few days is the worst is over. Your body is becoming detoxed, and you are well on track to become a non-smoker for the rest of your life.
Quit Smoking Timeline – Day 5
From this day there will be longer between the feeling that you just need a cigarette, and it becomes increasingly easier for you to stick with your decision … You can also enjoy than you are now breathing a lot easier, and now your senses, smell and taste senses are almost perfect and the level of a non smokers senses.
Quit Smoking Timeline – Day 6 and 7
Less symptoms every day and your smoking cessation is becoming much easier, 7 days is actually a full week, and now is the worst over, and so you release emotional energy which can be used for anything other than worry over a cessation.
Quit Smoking Timeline – Day 8 – 10
Now you are at a stage where smokers are starting to smell awful, all while you begin to smell better … Your breath will be fresh, and your voice will now also be clean and clear in tone. Now you’re almost home free …
Quit Smoking Timeline – Day 11 – 12
Now you should start getting brighter and more beautiful teeth, unless you consume large amounts of cola, coffee or wine. Your skin now has a brighter tone, and is significantly nicer to touch, at the same time the morning coughing releases you completely, now your throat is almost normal, and only very sensitive people feels some morning cough or similar.
Quit Smoking Timeline – Day 13 and 14
Now you can actually say that you are free of smoking, if you’ve quit for 2 weeks, and should no longer have any physical reasons to start again, and you will generally have more energy, simply because your body is not burdened daily of having to extract extra poisons of your blood, your immune system is in much better shape, and you will now easily avoid colds and the like. Cigarettes will now take up less and less in your universe, and as long as you understand that just one small cigarette, yes just one or two wheezing involves an imminent risk that you find yourself back in the smoker role again, you are good.
Quit Smoking Timeline – Weeks and months after …
It will be reasonably easy, although not entirely disappeared after 3 to 6 months, to feel you do not smoke, but remember now, former smokers can only in thousandths of all cases be party smokers, most smokers who have returned 1 -3 Years after a smoking cessation treatment, were some who would smoke a little on holiday or for a couple of festivals, and suddenly they were back in dependency … Do not let yourself fall into the trap, stay off smoking the rest of your life, you will only regret it if you try.
Good luck with your smoking cessation!

I quit smoking six days ago and it has been very difficult. I was hypnotized and while i was very sceptical at first, it has been the best experience of my life. I never thought that i would be able to quit smoking through hypnotism, however, the service was free to me and well worth the $185 it would have cost me if I had to pay for it. Anyone who WANTS to quit, I highly recommend hypnosis a viable means of quitting. If you consider yourself too intelligent to fall under persuasion of a hypnotist, as I did, then I challenge you to do a little research into hypnosis and how it works. A broad understanding of the mechanics of the situation will help your mind to open to all possibilities. But then again, Smartypants, who’s the one that is still smoking?
GOOD LUCK
I completely agree Trey. I actually also thought that hypnosis had to do with intelligence, and thought that I could not be hypnotized, but as it turns out I can
Six days as a non smoker – well done – I am on my third week (23 days, but who is counting?). Keep it up!
Hi
I have been a smoker for 28ys, I have now been a non smoker for 5days and find the quitsmoking timeline very accurate and helpful, it’s very difficult and hard but I am determined not to give up and have always thought the first 3 days are the hardest and that has proved true, I eat more but I’ll worry about that later, I have been on patches and whether that helps or not I don’t know I used them before and failed on the first day so i belive it’s will power only but I still wear patches as they won’t harm me.
good luck all.
I WILL NOT FAIL
Hi, I dont mean to knock hynosis, and congrats on the six days, however I feel that you quit because you wanted to not because you were hypnotised. I feel that cessation is a huge money making scam, which smokers get raped, for a way off. I quit many times cold turkey, and its hell on earth, but its doable, and its the only thing that works, and its free. You must remember it takes more effort to go to the store, and get ciggs then to not buy them and keep smoke free. Ive got 8 days on this current quit we shall see what happens, good luck everyone!!!
I quit and this July 10 it will be 10 years. I know you’ve probably heard this before but it bears repeating. If you want to quit, you can, but you really have to quit because you want to quit, not because somebody else wants you to quit. When you are tired of, waking to a cough that produces multi colored phlem, standing out in the cold (Minnesota) to smoke, having that persistent cough, getting hit in the pocketbook, smelling stale smoke that’s permiated everything in the house……then maybe you’ll quit. Remember, very few people can be a casual smoker, when you quit, quit for good. Start calling yourself a non-smoker immediately, and remain one. Follow a non-smoker timeline and see how your health improves with each day/year…whatever. I am so glad I quit. I met my wife several years after I quit and she tells me, had I been a smoker she would not have given me the time of day. Than I qit drinking, but that’s a story for another time.
When I was buying cigarettes, I was smoking anywhere from half a pack to two packs a day. One day, I ran out of cigarettes and I ran out of money. I suffered for a good eight hours, and then I changed the “smoke/drink: yes/yes” on my myspace profile to “no/yes”. Once I did that, my fight was over. That’s not to say that I by any means enjoyed the next two weeks, but I knew I had already won.
I smoked three cigarettes since I “quit” (one a week after, one three weeks after, and one a couple weeks ago) and one cigar since I quit buying cigarettes two months ago.
I quit smoking almost a year ago, but was on the patch (#1) for the entire year. I tried Champix but that just made me throw up, and gave me a massive headache each day, which I have heard from my friends is common with this.
Anyways, I quit the patch about 3 months ago. I am ok most days as long as I have a good sleep, and I do something active every couple of days.
The mood swings are crazy, and my sugar level plummets constantly, so I feel like Sybil on a good day.
I can handle just about anything, but I don’t know for how much longer I can handle the “crazy’ feeling.

i’ve jst quit smoking and did so cold turkey. I was very surprised but I didn’t seem to have any symptoms of withdrawel or wanting a cigarette. i didn’t even feel anything physically: like a craving. the only thing I somehwat felt, though not very strongly, was the ritual of having a cigarette.
it was really easy and I have been cigarette free for 3 weeks, don’t long for one and haven’t gained any weight I would say.
maybe what heldped me was that with the support of my husband, we started detoxing our bodies right when I started quitting. it seems that the change in food and eating habit cleaned out my kidneys, liver and my whole system so that traces of nicotene were gone much faster. I had more of a reaction to the detoxing than the actual quitting smoking.
maybe this is an individual experience or it could help a lot more out there. I thought it was extremely easy to quit, without medication. only detoxing the body and the support of my husband. he has told me he can’t believe and is amazed I have stuck to it and have been cigarette free for 3 weeks … so you see how addicted I was.
Detoxing: usually done for 4 weeks, change diet to whole grain, brown rice, lots of vegetables and fruits. NO dairy products, white flour, sugars …
