The nicotine is out of your system after 72 hours (3 days), so my physical addiction is over...I read this morning in a help book that the cotinine (a metabolite of nicotene), is 100% cleared out from the bloodstream/arteries in 10 to 14 days...after that the physical and psychological need to smoke is over.
So i figure in 11 more days i will be 100% over my cigarette addiction....so it will definitely be easier going forward.

Yeah a beer and a smoke always went so well together, same for coffee and a smoke. It just takes time to get past those combos.
The physical habit isn't the tough part, it's the mental part that haunts you for a long, long time.
