I used to smoke like a freight train - I smoked for a few years as a kid and stopped and the went through a severe divorce in my early 30's and started again at a couple of packs a day. I did that for a few years and quit again. I've been smokeless for about 3 or 4 years now and basically just tapered off and quite, I also had to avoid triggers or mental habits. I don't crave cigarettes anymore at all and actually don't like the smell of cigarettes - but GAWD the aroma of good pipe tobacco or good cigars makes me drool - A great cigar with a great scotch is such a perfect match but I avoid the tobacco cuz I know I'll be smoking like a fiend. So my solution is drink twice as much scotch to make up for the missing tobacco
