Nicotine is removed from your body within 4 hours after the last exposure.

Nicotine levels drop to 50% after 30 min., 25% after 1 hour. After 3 weeks 99.9% is out of your body. Most people stop experiencing cravings within 5 days of cessation.

Nicotene is almost gone out of your system in 72 hours at which time you may feel the craving the most so hold on. Cold turkey is only successful 5% of the time so you either need a nicotene patch or do like me & try to only smoke a couple of puffs at a time up to 1 cigarette a day for 3 days. Yiou will have more success at stopping smoking permanently & it costs much less than a nicotene patch.
