I gave up smoking in 2008 after several attempts and using different methods. I've had cigarettes twice in the past decade of curiosity whilst *really* heavily drunk and felt regretful both times the following day when you can still taste it and feel tight in the chest.
I regard this as entirely unremarkable, however I have a number of friends that smoked the same amount and gave up at similar times, within a year or two. The thing is, despite quitting, they still miss it, or smoke when drunk, or smoke while drunk and then buy a pack and then recommence smoking and fight through the addiction to give up.
It still has some hold over them to some extent and I'm glad I'm not in that position.
