True. However, nicotine patches, gums, etc. are WAY more expensive than a pack of cigarettes. Three bucks for a pack of cigs, 40-50 bucks for a box of patches. So, yeah.And also... there's just something about smoking, the act of smoking itself, that is rewarding. One part of it is that it is a social thing, the people I hang out with are all smokers, it is something we do together. And I've always enjoyed lighting a cigarette, inhaling, exhaling, tapping off the ash, etc.
And please no one tell me how dumb it is to smoke, I'm well aware of the dangers. But right now I'm just not ready to give it up, even though I've only been smoking for a few months. I don't want to smoke for more than a few years, I just hope I'm not so hooked it's impossible for me to quit by that time.
