I quite a pack a day habit 12 years ago and one of the first things I noticed when my sense of taste and smell returned was how aweful smokers smelled when they’d walk into a building after a cigarette. I had thought the smell was off me within maybe 10 minutes but I found out quick that the smell never really goes away. Feels like a previous life thinking I smoked because I can’t see myself ever smoking even a single cig for the rest of my life because it’s so revolting to me now. Oddly enough, however, sometimes I’ll see someone light up a fresh cig in a movie or something and I’ll get this strong 2-3 second craving for a smoke. It’s so strange how even over 12 years since my last one, I still get these strange urges for a cig by seeing someone of TV light one up.
My aunt hasn’t smoked in 40 years and she says she still gets the odd random moment like that, and she was really just a social smoker, it wasn’t a heavy habit for her. It’s funny.
Yeah I’ve got some herbal blend that I’ll roll up every now and again when my brother the smoker comes over, and I kind of get a pang like I’d also like one.

In my Language there is a word for this, roughly translated into “Lung-Hunger”.
It’s not just the Nicotine.
