I gave up over 40 years ago after smoking since pre-teen. Cigarettes, cheroots, rollies, cigars- I loved them all. The only dislike was a pipe, but I did try hard to enjoy it. You know what? If there is the stimulus of actors smoking in a movie or an article like yours I start wanting to smoke again. It never goes away. If a doctor told me I had weeks to live I'd probably start again. Why the Hell not?!

I would do the same. I love smoking. Even writing that is giving me the idea I'd like to smoke. Using a vape has been the way to go for me.
