Is anyone else like this? - Smoking Cessation Message Board

I've been smoking since I was 13 (I'm now 22). I am slightly addicted to nicotine, but I've come to realize that I'm more addicted to the process of taking out a smoke, lighting it up, and bringing it to and from my mouth. I also love making "0's" with my smoke. I smoke mostly when I'm bored (or I'm out drinking). Is anyone else like this? I know I'm addicted to nicotine, but if ciggaretes weren't addictive and didn't contain nic. I would STILL smoke!

That's me, too!

I light a cigarette, before I realize I did it.

I'm trying to start knitting, but it's not like I can bring that everywhere.

Nicotine is a powerful little monster that will make us believe anything.

The "habit" of smoking is like any other habit. It takes some time to form, so it may take a little time to forget. But it's definitely worth it.
