Anyone else not like smoking for 8 months out of the year, but then pick it up when it gets cold? Curious if I'm the only one.

I, for some reason, enjoy smoking in the colder months, November - February. Then all of a sudden I think they're nasty again. I used to think it was only temporary but I've done this for about the past 5 years.

QFT.

I generally smoke all year round, but there's nothing better to me than putting a coat on and going out for a smoke.

Here's to a new year though... Quitting cigarettes is on my to-do list!

Yea I get that also, it makes more sense during the colder months for some reason. Smoking in the summer time feels really filthy cause of the humidity combined with 90F+ degree weather.

Quite a bit of layperson terminology in the above link, and well over 150 citations to other articles pointing back to the general study of nicotine addiction. It might explain a few things to those that want to stop smoking, and outline some of the newer methods of cessation (through pharmaceutical pursuits and positive reinforcement -- aka cognitive behavioral therapy, the only part of psychology that is related to science at all.)

Also related, and interesting finds on "the patch" and gum:

best way to quit smoking is to get fuck-all sick with a cold or something, where you're physically unable to smoke (unless you get drunk enough to where your throat goes numb, and all). once that first half week-week goes by it's easier to do without.

but why would anyone wanna quit? cigarettes make you look cool, they have vitamins in them, and they stimulate your "T-ZONE"

Hahaha soo true..Whats weird is when i would get sick i WOULD NOT SMOKE. Like if i had a realll bad cold or the flu if i tried to smoke..The cigarettes would taste sooo bad, Just couldn't do it. It would of been easier to quit when i got sick but i was so tired of it that i didn't want to wait any longer.

I am currently in a 7 month success run after about 4 reups and I always stopped after getting sick. I always thought about how much I hated being sick those 3 days and how bad cancer and shit would feel.
All the people on here who haven't been addicted to cigarettes and act all mentally tough and crap need to realize that nicotine is a different story than anything else. It isn't a logical decision to be addicted to smoking, you just smoke a few times for fun and it just goes from there.
Smoking during a high stress point in your life a lot can really reinforce the addiction too, and so you will associate cigarettes with stress relief for any number of years, with or without a physical association.
Good luck Revoke, I have done pretty well with the patch this is my second run with it, used it as directed and have been totally off for like 4 months.
