This is very true ideed. Its like an old friend, who's helped you through thick and thin, is always there when no one else is etc. You've formed relationships with your smoking (smoking whilst on the phone, driving, when socialising etc) and you need to be prepared to deal with these situations when they arise - and they will. Don't be complacent, smoking will always take you back at any time
The excuse 'I smoke when i'm stressed' is another widely used but widely inaccurate saying. Blood has to pump faster around your body, so in fact the cigarette in itself is stressing the smoker out.
