Some people only have a few mild symptoms but others have more severe symptoms that are harder to deal with.

Common recovery symptoms include:
- Cravings

As a result of smoking a person will have a build up of tar and congestion in their lungs. In order to rid the respiratory system of the build up damage it usually takes 5-7 years.
However, with active cleansing treatment this process can be shortened.
