Tobacco-related diseases are some of the biggest killers in the world today and are cited as one of the biggest causes of premature death in industrialized countries. In US about 500,000 deaths per year are attributed to smoking-related diseases Male and female smokers lose an average of 13.2 and 14.5 years of life, respectively.Smoking one cigarette a day results in a risk of heart disease that is halfway between that of a smoker and a non-smoker. Among the diseases that can be caused by smoking are vascular stenosis, lung cancer, heart attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Ljiljana O 21 day :D

Kaimi L This challenge is a little off.. it should have at least a time frame. I think it would be more encouraging for those of us who are actually addicted.. then once the time frame is up we should have gone through the withdrawal symptoms enough to finally say we are officially no longer any type of smoker. And that includes social smoking.

Paul C Awful habit- but not one which is that simple to kick!!
Irene C Update.... now 102 days smoke free! Not sure when I can call the challenge complete, but so far so good, no longing, do not miss them one bit!
I have not smoked since 5th March and although I don't feel like I will smoke again I have decided to wait until I have given up for 3 months. You are over that, and I think it depends on where your head is at, if you feel that you will not smoke again then surely you have completed the challenge :-)

Martin M answered the question So I am on day 7, have not cheated since day 2. How long until the craving subside? I really do want to quit, have used everyone's advice but I want to know how long these feelings will persist?
physical craving starts to fade after 2 to 3 weeks, then it gets easier every day, I stopped about 25 years ago now ,eeek how time flies , mints and boiled sweets were a handy substitute for me, good luck hope you ca...
