If smoking had no redeeming qualities it wouldn't be so hard to quit. It's not just the nicotine that hooks people.
In any case, I quit again, yippee. Last time I quit for four years, maybe I can repeat that.

You're right, it's not just the nicotine, it's also the way people trick themselves into thinking that smoking is this great thing they need, or in the case of an ex smoker, this great thing they miss.
That mentality is why I tried to quit and failed dozens of times. It's also why I started again after quitting for thirteen months several years back. Whenever I saw someone smoking I let myself think I missed it. That I was missing out. If you allow yourself to think that way eventually you will go back to smoking.
It's just not true though. It's an awful habit with no redeeming qualities.
