(17,030 posts)63. Same with me. I think it's the whole ritual and the anticipation as much as
the act itself. Sort of like sex, I guess. I have a bit of a fire fetish, too, so I'm sure that's part of it as well. It's very hard for those of us who genuinely like smoking to quit. I did quit with e-cigs for 3 weeks, and that is by far the longest I've gone without smoking since I started at age 15. I plan to try again, but I can only do it when I'm determined. I'm pretty fed up with the cost (again), so I think I might be quitting soon.
