I went on a 4 day water fast last Easter. I picked that time as it is a 4 day weekend in Australia.
Tea and cigiarettes are a big addiction for me and especially tea. Withdarawal from both is strong but much stronger with tea, after about a day and a half. I decided on the fast to also not smoke and of course tea was out.
During the 4 days of fasting the withdrawla symptoms for both cigarettes and tea were very reduced. However, I found the desire to smoke was very high and I think that was because of boredom. But as I said, the physical withdrawal symptoms were greatly reduced.
