It's an emotional dependency. I've quit smoking a few times, once for 2 years, then 3 times for a couple of weeks each.

Each time I was left feeling very depressed, because of my circumstances and because it was what was keeping me emotionally on keel. So right now I want to stop, but I have a job, I'm starting studies, driving test and my living situation isn't ideal.

So it's not a good time. I always worry about diseases and dying from related illnesses, but I feel like i can't cope without it. Sometimes addiction is a symptom of life.
