I think you are a very rare minority then.

Quit smoking is painfull (went through it multiple times). For me it feels so much better since I finally got it.

And since then my behaviour regarding other drugs also got a lot better, because you dont have that "hunger" to take s.th. from smoking.

It doesnt even make you high lol.

"Like you cant "occasionaly" smoke cigarettes" I know several endurance sportsmen (no ladies were met, that I knew about) who will smoke an occasional cigarette. As an ex-smoker (took up endurance sports), I was astonished when I saw super-fit people casually smoking.
