Wish I never smoked, but over 4 years since my last and no cravings. Always was afraid that cravings would never go away, that hungry anxiety was awful, even if it was dull after a time

Terrible addiction that isn’t worth it

Little over four years smokeless for me too, after 20 years of smoking. High five for the quitter crew!

Sadly I still get cravings almost weekly.

10-year smoker here who quit 5 years ago. My cravings were gone after about a month. I had nightmares about smoking occasionally for the first year or so though. I really didn't wanna fall back into the trap

I attribute the lack of cravings mostly to quitting using "the easy way to quit smoking" book by Allen Carr. It really helped how I thought about smoking as a whole. It's designed to be read while you're quitting, but maybe even 4 years later it could help you - worth a shot I'd say.
