That's called addiction. I know, I was there. When I quit smoking, with
the aids to help, after the pills they gave me were over, I craved a
smoke for a couple of years after. Still, even though it stinks
horribly, and I can tell a person smokes no matter how careful they are
to not get it on there clothes, etc., I sometimes see someone light up
after a meal or something, and I think, damn that would be nice. It's a
fleeting moment these days, however, and I never give in.

I haven't smoked in many many years, and yet I still get cravings when I
see someone light up after a mean or catch a whiff of fresh smoke walking
outside.

I think the smell of smoke on someone who has been smoking smells like
****, but I still like the smell of a cigarette. It shows you how strong
the addiction is.

When my wife was teaching and bringing home papers to grade you could always
tell the kids whose parents smoked as you could smell it on their papers.
