I dont think I was really ever addicted as I found it pretty easy to stop, I stopped 2 days after xmas 2006 and the hardest time was new years eve in a house party but I stuck to my guns! I hate the smell of it but still odly get a notion for one if I find myself in situations where i'd normally light up, like letting the dog out for a piss on the doorstep on a cold night etc...after a pint/cuppa T...jus try an break the routine, DONT buy any, that helps ALLOT...as if you dont have any then you cant smoke them! DONT go out with your mates etc when they go for a smoke in the pub or whatever. It gets easier!
