How long does it take to totally quit smoking?

my boyfriend has been smoking for 10 years now, and he has decided to quit last year. but lately he puffs 3x to relieve his chest pains. will this in anyway help him really get the nicotine out of his system?
My bf had smoked for 10 yrs. He stopped Apr 2006. He gradually reduced his consumption until he only puffs 2x a month or whenever he feels chestpains (withdrawal symptoms). It’s been 12months now, is it still advisable to take some puffs once in a while?

FYI he doesnt crave for a cigar. Can last 1 month without a stick. But then when he has chest pains decides to get a puff.

Is this just normal? Or should I tell him to endure the pain and not smoke. Is this possible? Or all quitters get through this pain with the same solution (of occassional puffing) ?

thank you for all those who replied. Really great help for me.

How do i quit smoking FOR GOOD?

I’ve been smoking for over 10 years, and i’ve quit many times. I have gone as long as a year without a ciggarette in one of my attempts. The combination of stress, and being in the same vicinity (around others) who smoke, is what has made me in the past take back up the filthy habit.
Any suggestions for permanently quitting?

I recently quit smoking and I have already notice an improvement. How long does it take lungs to repair?

I have been smoking for about 10 years, and recently quit. I feel as if I am already sleeping better and I also feel that I have more energy. It has only been 5 days, but I really do feel better over all. Is it true that your lungs heal naturally and how long willl it take????
