Greetings:
In all honesty, there's not a true answer....for it depends on how heavily one smokes...and for how many years..... I have read articles that it can take between 6 months...up to 5 years. The body starts to repair itself immediately after one stops smoking....
There is a product on the market to help quit smoking..it is made with all natural herbal ingredients. It is called Nicitout.....they state the following:
How long does it take to get the nicotine out of my body?
The Nicitout Program is designed to rid your body of residual toxins after you complete the Cleanse 2-week plan. Every individual is different and the actual time may vary slightly from one person to the next. However, to aid in accelerating the Cleansing process drink plenty of water, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and get regular exercise.
Will my body ever get back to normal after I quit?
Yes, it will. In fact, your body starts repairing the damage almost immediately. For example, within 30 minutes of quitting smoking, your pulse rate slows down and blood pressure drops toward normal. Within hours of stopping, the level of carbon monoxide in your blood drops, enabling the blood to carry more oxygen. Two days after quitting, nerve endings begin to recover and your sense of smell and taste begin to return. Within 72 hours of quitting. the bronchial tubes of your lungs expand and lung volume increases.
