It takes a maximium of 72 hours purge nicotine from the bloodstream and reach peak withdrawal. But just one puff we have to do nicotine detox all over again. We're simply not that strong. Drink plenty of natural fruit juice the first three days. It'll help purge nicotine from the body. Also don't skip meals. The next few minutes are all that matter and each is do-able. Baby steps!
