The three-minute rule
Research on smoking cessation consistently shows that urges rise, peak, and fall, often within three minutes if you do not act on them.
That is why Quitt is built around a three-minute timer. You are not committing to never vape again in that moment; you are committing to wait three minutes.
First 72 hours
Nicotine clears from your body quickly. The first three days tend to feel the roughest: more frequent cravings, poor sleep, and low mood for some people.
Cravings may come every hour or less. Each one is still short. Stack enough three-minute wins and the day becomes manageable.
First two weeks
Craving frequency usually drops after day four or five. Intensity fades too, but triggers, stress, alcohol, seeing someone vape, can still spike an urge out of nowhere.
Keep logging cravings. Patterns emerge: time of day, place, emotion. That data helps you prepare rather than get ambushed.
After a month
Many people report occasional cravings rather than constant ones. They can still be strong in the wrong moment. The habit loop weakens, but nicotine memory lingers.
Tools that help in month one still help in month six: a timer, quitt ai grounding, trigger logging, buddy support, and people who get it. Quitt combines all of that on your phone.
