And god, the withdrawals from nicotine are fugly. It truly is more about habitual stuff than the actual physical craving. The craving is there but for long-time smokers (years), sometimes our whole routine is based around it. I couldn't go outside and simply sit in my garden while I was trying to quit. Even now, I have to be doing something when I am. At the moment, I can basically no longer sit there and honestly say I feel calm without a cigarette - because this is where I would always light up and soak in the outside world. Now, I am only off them about 3 months and I imagine this will eventually subside (I hope) but man it is a tough habit to kick as far as habits within habits go.
