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.
I did get them the first time I tried quitting, which lasted 1 or two years before I started up again
I don’t think I’ll ever smoke again this time though. Combination of reasons, I have kids now, who I don’t want affected by it. I ve really gotten into cardio since then, and I’m starkly aware of how it affects your lungs. Also this second time I quit I had a minor health scare where my mouth started sloughing a bit. Wasn’t just the smoking causing that, I also was drinking some very acidic juice and was reacting badly to a toothpaste ingredient, but it did help me to quit
