Ah, yes. that explains why i still crave cigarettes after quitting 10 years ago.
I received my strongest encouragement to never smoke when my high school history teacher said he hasn't smoked in fifteen years but will see someone smoking and think to himself: damn that looks tasty
Can patches do the same?
good question. I don't have cravings for patches, i do to a lesser extent to the nicotine inhalers. It's the smell, taste, and feel of a real cigarette that is so fundametally linked to "this is good!" in my brain.
Not a smoker (cigarettes at least), but I think there is something subconscious about the ritual and the action of taking a drag, exhaling, and then getting the nicotine hit immediately after. Your brain connects the two actions.
I’m at about 10 years myself. But I never have cravings. I once in a while smell someone smoking. And I just realize how long it’s been since ive smelt that smell.
just for science: Do you have ADHD (self or official diag)?
I ended up deleting my answer. Some angry jewish dude used it to attack me before he was banned.
that's good to know, maybe my ADHD kid wont be as easily addicted to stuff either :)
