Your comments above about the connection with alcohol are, of course, spot on. I've quit a number of times, but it's always the alcohol that brings me back. Amazingly, I haven't relapsed yet, but I feel sometimes like it's inevitable. I still miss the companionship of my friends who will step outside to smoke, while I sit inside the bar. I go outside, and sit right there. I don't want an actual cigarette, but I make sure i get a good strong whiff of the second hand smoke. The smells I get from this experience are interesting, because my sense of smell has greatly improved since quitting, so I'm increasingly aware of that stink that smokers carry around with them, that I never thought I did have, but of course everyone around insists you do. But, is this "need" to get the second hand smoke going to be my downfall, or can it be an effective way to get that initial need for a taste, without actually resuming any habit?

I am a hypnotherapist who helps people quit smoking and I sometimes have people return after 2 years as they have started again. It was good to understand from a smoker's point of view what can cause you to slip up. Cheers your article was an interesting read.
