Why Smoking Cravings Come and Go
People often expect smoking cravings to gradually disappear in a straight line after deciding to quit. However, many former smokers notice that cravings can seem unpredictable, becoming stronger on some days and barely noticeable on others.
For many people, these cravings are influenced by more than nicotine alone. Familiar routines, emotional experiences, environments, and behavioural patterns may all play a role in when smoking thoughts appear.
