Regular smokers: how long can you stay without a cigarette?

I smoke one cigarette in the morning after my big cup of tea and two slice of bread and butter. I take a chit. I shower, I come to work (7am to 15am), go home and smoke my second cigarette. Others follow until I go to sleep. I don't feel the urge to smoke at work. I used to but somehow I have managed to change.

But on week ends I smoke more often during the day. I could certainly go without a cigarette for a whole day but by the end of the day I would become irritable. I would give it a try and leave another comment to answer your question.

It takes me over a week to finish a pack. But I smoke my American spirits in like thirds because they have so much more tobacco in them. They burn a lot slower than other brands too and are organic. But cost almost 10$ a pack here. Paid 17$ for one in NY. Fuck that place...

i spent every week in detention for smoking in school >< i can go for a few hours but half a day too much

I'm a male, and a day is pushing it. But I can do it.

Macho here. smoke 10-20+ a day. there are days i try to see how long i last, and i can't last half an hour and there are days that pass hours without smoking and not even noticing!

I am male and smoke 1/4 - 1/2 of a pack/day

When I was a smoker I could go a day or more without a cigarette. I would mainly forget to smoke if I was really busy. Then again I found nicotine to have almost no addiction for me whatsoever even when using large amounts of tobacco everyday.

But everyone is different, it can be a really risky habit addiction wise. My father couldn't go a few hours when he was a smoker and had a terrible time quitting. Don't risk it, I still use nasal snuff occasionally and I love nicotine but I think for most people any use of tobacco is a very bad idea.
