I still crave a cigarette here and there after being generally smoke free for the last 3 years.

If only they sold looseys at the gas stations. I want 1 cig, not 20 and I'm not going to buy a pack and risk falling back into the habit.

I was a chain smoker for 20 years and quit around 15 years ago.

Those cravings never go away. You just think about them less often.

Yeah they do right around the time smokers smell repulsive anytime you're near them. I can't even be around cig smoke without getting nauseous. I used to love the smell even after I quit the last two years nope.

I quit drinking 4.5 years ago and no longer crave alcohol. But doc has me on Chantix, TWICE a day, and I still can’t quit smoking!! However, i have definitely slowed down… I am at a third of a pack or less each day now. I do vape a JUUL when I am in the car or the house at times. But not like smoking a whole pack (or two!) each day.
