I know a lot of weird things that are utterly unacceptable and in some cases illegal happened to us back when I was at school... But OMG I just remembered the teachers used to have a smoking room? A room just for them to smoke in? So cool how norms change.

Was it hard too? I really experienced it as excrutiatingly hard, and also psychologically dissociating.

It was very easy, but I have always been this way with smoking.

Smoking shisha hours on the weekend then nothing for months etc, for example. So finally I just said, OK, enough. When I quit I had been smoking non-stop for 6 months 5-6 cigs per day.

I see. My wife was more like that, quit sometimes then started, then quit etc, not being as dependent as I was. I basically chain smoked for 10+ years (pack/day or shag tobacco). Then I quit. *bam* My body had to catch up with what my mind had decided, so to say. No notice.

Same here. Quitting had a strong effect body and mind. How easy was to lit one and relax! But then guilt is a stronger force!

I really restarted smoking because I was needed psychological support in many ways. It's very different to being a general smoker I think. Kind of like when US soldiers returned from Vietnam where they were addicts and they just stopped! Context plays a huge role.

I used to smoke fewer than 10 per day on and off for years. Quitting every summer for example when I was back in Cyprus. Or if not quitting drastically reducing.

That's why it was easy. I entered a period of my life where I'm much happier.
