After 6 years of chronic, daily smoking I started tapering in November 2025. I thought the worst of the withdrawals were done in Jan this year when I got down to 3-4 times a week. Decided a month ago, I’m ready to cease use altogether. Withdrawals were no where near as bad, but goddamn they were still there. Palpitations, insomnia, blood pressure higher, anxiety. This demon drug man. Starting to feel better this past few days, but I had no idea withdrawal took this long. I don’t know how people cold turkey it. Been reading about long term, chronic users who were still recalibrating up to 16 months after quitting.

For other long term, chronic users who have quit. How long until withdrawals fully stopped?
