The amount of time it takes an individual to get over the effects of a nicotine condition varies greatly from person to person. It can depend on such factors as their body size and weight and how long they smoked for. What method they use to quit can also play a part in how long it takes an individual to get over the effects of a nicotine addiction.

What happens when you suddenly stop a nicotine addiction?
You don't suddenly stop the addiction. The addiction takes weeks. You can suddenly stop the nicotine, in which case you will probably experience headaches, jitters, ill-temper and a number of other unpleasant effects. We suggest using nicotine replacement -- preferably the patch -- to help you taper off to nothing over a period of a couple of months.People who try to quit cold turkey are rarely successful, and you can't taper off on cigarettes. You need a supply that is controlled by something other than your impulses. The addiction itself will remain active until some weeks after the nicotine is all gone, and will be reactivated by the first few exposures to nicotine (if you're that stupid).

How long can you chew nicotine gum?
When you ask how long can a person chew nicotine gum, do you mean how long can a person substitute nicotine gum for smoking cigarettes to assist in smoking cessation? In theory, as long as one is alive, just as someone could keep smoking cigarettes as long as one is alive. This, however, would just be changing the form in which one intakes nicotine from cigarettes to nicotine gum, and would keep one addicted to nicotine in general. In practice, the manufacturers of nicotine gum suggest to slowly decrease the number of pieces of nicotine gum a person chews per day over a three month period, gradually substituting non-nicotine gum for the nicotine gum until one completely stops chewing the nicotine gum altogether.

What are the harmful effects of nicotine?
Effects of Nicotine When a person inhales cigarette smoke, the nicotine in the smoke is rapidly absorbed into the blood and starts affecting the brain within 7 seconds. In the brain, nicotine activates the same reward system as do other drugs of abuse such as cocaine or amphetamine, although to a lesser degree. Nicotine's action on this reward system is believed to be responsible for drug-induced feelings of pleasure and, over time, addiction. Nicotine also has the effect of increasing alertness and enhancing mental performance. In the cardiovascular system, nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure and restricts blood flow to the heart muscle. The drug stimulates the release of the hormone epinephrine, which further stimulates the nervous system and is responsible for part of the "kick" from nicotine. It also promotes the release of the hormone beta-endorphin, which inhibits pain. People addicted to nicotine experience withdrawal when they stop smoking. This withdrawal involves symptoms such as anger, anxiety, depressed mood, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, and craving for nicotine. Most of these symptoms subside within 3 to 4 weeks, except for the craving and hunger, which may persist for months.

The long term effects (over 1 week of daily use) are: Physical addiction which can include - diarrhoea, cold sweats, sneezing, pain in the stomach and legs, extreme fatigue, depression, insomnia, and also mental addiction/attachment. Heroin is NOT the most addicting drug out there.
