exactly ive been smoking for about 8 years now. i have a friend who can have a cig, then go like 6 months without one, and then smoke for like 3 weeks then quit right again.

fyi i did quit cocaine , heroin, extascy and mushroom use as well as a shit ton of prescripton pills like oxies ritlin ect and i STILL smoke.

It's only been 3 years, but all my friends my age and younger start going a little crazy after just a few hours without a smoke; they're completely hopeless... Meh -_-;

Id rather be addicted to nothing and enjoy everything with moderation

i QUIT cold turkey 2 months ago on my 45th birthday and haven't touched one since *bows* thank you thank you

i'm back on the wagon after quitting for 3 years (REAL quitting, not that "i only took a drag" bullshit). my honest opinion is that nicotine's role in smoking addiction is WAY overstated, at least for me. i think a lot of people mistake addiction for habit. it's a hell of a lot harder to make the lifestyle change of changing such a ridgid routine than it is to "kick nicotine". it's the "feeling naked without one" that's the real issue. by the way, i'm back on the wagon because i made the mistake of thinking i could smoke when i drink. i did it a few times and woke up the next day and didn't even think about a cigg, so i figured i was all set. that turned into anticipating drinking just so i could smoke. it's a psycological habit more than a substance addiction.
