Two weeks and you'll feel like a new man.
Vaporizers help.

VAPE NATION BRUH!! 
No but seriously, get a vape. There are certain levels of nicotine that are offered and you can dwindle down until you are at zero over time. Also, you won't smell like stale cigarettes and you won't have smokers breath.

Smoked in college and it was kind of tough to quit. But, after a few weeks its so repulsive you'll wonder why you ever smoked in the first place.

1st couple of weeks will be brutal.
stay the course.
don't get hooked on the gum.
if you survive those 1st couple of weeks it gets a little easier.
still tons of temptation during the 1st year.
keep staying the course.
after that, you will despise cigarettes and will wonder to yourself why in the hell someone could smoke those nasty things.
i did it...you can too
not often, but every once in a while i will have a slight craving for a cig but the craving goes away fast.

I smoked for about 12 years, from 15-27. You start feeling better close to immediately, first few weeks and months, but you'll also probably put on a little weight over the next year.

I smoked off and on for 20 years. I've quit for 4 years or so now and am very happy that I did. I would say that noticeable differences started a little less than a week after I stopped.
I didn't quit because I necessarily wanted to but I got diagnosed with a genetic blood clotting disorder and my doc said I could continue to smoke as long as I had a death wish. I used that motivation and patches to do it. Once I got through the initial week or two, I found every craving got easier to beat.
Congrats on quitting, it sucks at first but isn't so bad in time. Besides the health benefits, there's a certain freedom that comes with not being a slave to those frickers. Take that in and enjoy it hand in hand with the health benefits...

I quit in January after only 10 years. Got an e cig and it helped tremendously. You get the same hand to mouth repetitive motion, gradually reduce nicotine, and you won't smell. I haven't had a single puff of a cigarette since January and I rarely ever use my vape, and even when I do, my juice has no nicotine in it.
