Yes, to get a minute to yourself - a minute to think, really. I continued smoking because it was the only way to get a break - to leave the cubicle or the restaurant or the kids even. I don't smoke cigarettes anymore and I find yoga and walking are great for that getting a break feeling (of course I work at home now) and drinking a glass of water is another good way to get a minute - or just going outside and getting a breath of fresh air.
Peace!

Nicotine is perhaps to most versatile drug we know. I can act as a stimulant, a depressant, or a tranquillizer based on your mood and blood chemistry.
Not to mention the fact that it is highly addictive - no wonder it is so hard to quit once you've started, even if you HATE it sometimes. Other times - you NEED it - You know what I mean if you're a smoker.
It can be kicked but I am not a MD, so I can't advise presciptions - but that's the way I would go if I were going to do it. I just haven't gotten to the point where I want to yet - so it's - forget it - for now.

After joining the U.S. Airforce, during Basic Training smokers got a smoke break and they had to stand in painted areas with butt cans .Meanwhile us non-smpkers had to stand at at attention. I finally I said this is bull sh** so I stepped out on the next smoke break and started smoking.
The I quit after basic, but after meeitng a lady that smopkes, it started up all over again to be cool now and no toher apparent reason was in my moind to smoke other than that.
Up until the time for me when I quit, I could never understand why
I kept smoking for no apparent reason till I just finally quit. Thats was five years ago and I haven't touched them since.

Honestly?? Ok,here goes.Back in high school when my friends and I would smoke pot,we would smoke a cigarette afterword because it enhanced the high.That is how I got started.Twenty four years later and I gave up the ciggs(5 months now)and gave up the weed(almost 8 years ago).Now the only vice I have is a few vodka drinks once in a while.Sucks to get old.

I started to be accepted, liked, and to fit in. Not very smart on my behalf, but each failure is a rung up the later to success.
The best way to clear your mind in my humble opinion, is through meditation.

i think i started because my parents smoked and all my friends smoked. once you start, it's a hard habit to break.
