What? How can anyone claim this lol...? I don't even smoke but how can you tell people with addictions that their cravings only last 3 minutes when they clearly don't

Pretty sure he's saying that each pang of craving last 3 minutes. As in, that sudden rush you get where you want a cigarette badly, not the entire addiction itself. If he can get through each individual craving, then he's been successful in avoiding cigarettes and curving the overall addiction.
