Exactly. People replying to you are acting like a smoker will literally explode if they don't smoke for a few months. Nonsense! Just like a nonsmoker, they are just fine having to go without cigarettes while underway. My husband was both a smoker and a submariner at the same time. He didn't like vaping or using dip so he was just was forced to go without nicotine for the duration of the underway. Of course he was really grumpy about it, but that's absolutely it.

I have a friend in Germany who gives up smoking for the entirety of Lent. It always seemed so stupid to me, since if I could have given up for that long, I wouldn't have gone back. I was a smoker for many decades who gave up three months ago, and feel kind of cheated by how easy it was and how little I miss it (wish I had done it far, far earlier).
