This is highly plausible. Nicotine addiction seems to differ from individual to individual as well. I know people who smoke for years, then just one day decide to quit and do it without any issues[0] and stay off it for a couple of months or years and then start again, or not. Me personally I go insane within 12-24 hours of abstinence (massive anxiety/frustration) and it requires an enormous amount of willpower to get past the 48-72 hours until it starts to ease.

- conductr 5y agoMost of my family growing up were smokers and always trying/going to quit. What always amazed me is many times one of them would quit for like a week or two, it was hell for them, then they’d just pick it back up saying it was just too hard. I’d think the hard part was over but then I always connected it to the social part smoking and the having something to do with their hands aspect. There’s something else besides the nicotine addiction that’s hard to kick.
