I think this is a really good video about a smoker and his addiction. I am a quitter and had to deal with all of those emotions, the making up excuses for it, the skin crawling, the immense mood swings. I guess that is why I can really relate when he got to the "hundred reasons to smoke and one not to" He talked about all of the types of smoking; when you first get up, after a meal, etc. He never really could explain why it was so good though. He simply said “I don't know...it just is"

It has such a hard hold on him that he would make excuses why it was good to smoke...really...hhmmm?

I remember going out in the freezing cold of the snow and ice to have a cigarette and thinking about all of the past history when studies were saying cigarette were not addictive. I had to laugh. I am in the freezing cold smoking on this nasty little thing, but I am not addicted, nope, not me...I am enjoying myself. Not only is smoking very physically addictive it is a major head game to actually fight and quite the habit!!
