Nicotine affects your brain w/in 10 seconds, so sounds pretty addicting to me.
Like I said in the PM, talk to your doctor about chantix. Or since your not a "regular" smoke, even nicorette lozenges or gum can help.
"the only people I know that quit smoking entirely and never started again did it cold turkey--just up and decided what they were doing was stupid, and BAM, they stopped" If this quote were true many health care professionals would be out of a job. Yes you can stop smoking cold -turkey, but your sucess rate is much much higher if you use a nicotine replacement product.
