A member asked:

I have quit smoking for two weeks now after smoking 2-3 packs per week for 10 yrs. no withdrawl signs. is this normal?

Not normal but good!: Usually w the pattern u describe it is very hard @ least for the first few days to weeks. Even tho it is not usual, i would say 2 things. 1st, enjoy it, because not having withdrawal symptoms is something to be grateful for. 2nd, be cautious - @ some point it may get harder. Don't give in to the thought that "i can have just one because it's been easy, " or "i'm immune to addiction.".

You're normal: Withdrawal from nicotine in tobacco typically takes from 2 to 4 weeks or longer, but varies a lot from person to person. There are physical parts -- dependence to nicotine, but also psychological (i want it now, my brain says), and social too (l want to smoke with friends). It's totally ok you don't have withdrawal. Lucky you! keep going! stay tobacco free :-).
