Yep

I will have three or four once every month or so, but this is from a point of smoking 25-30 a day between 1990 and around 2001.

It was all to do with circumstances for me. First university, then a job where I could smoke at my desk (unbelievable, looking back) and out most nights.

A no-smoking job helped me cut down, then going out less, then getting married and having a baby (well my wife did that obviously).

I honestly think that I couldn't have just stopped and when I have a beer in my hand and the company of my friends the temptation is still there.

But in the main, I don't even think about cigarettes which actually makes me wonder if I was 'supposed' to smoke in the first place. Does that make any sense?
