My biggest trigger is driving. That is what led me to “unquit”. I could no longer drive w/out a butt in hand.

My Father-In-Law gave us his 2004 Lincoln Aviator last year. He chained smoked in it for 6 years. When I picked it up the nicotine made my skin crawl. I had to drive it 200 miles home, I had to stop and puke it was so bad in that thing. After a year I am still scrapping nicotine off of the inside of the thing. I had to scrub the leather seats with a green meanie just so I could sit in it. You shouldn’t scrub leather but NOTHING got the nicotine off.

Driving a 3000-6000 pound mass of metal and plastic, at 60-70 miles per hour... a speed so fast our brain has to be 'hypnotized' and re-render what the eyes see.... nearly 6 feet away from other vehicles doing the same speed, creating a potential engaging speed of 120mph, with no safety device whatsoever to keep one of them from suddenly veering right into the other, and yet we feed it necessary to busy one of our hands with a piece of paper and tobacco with one end at 450F+ and capable of setting the car on fire from a careless ash.

Humans are an interesting species.

When my Aunt (in law) quit after 40+ years of smoking (she actually rolled her own cigs as a teen during WWII) she had to NOT talk to family and friend on the phone for about a month. She said it was weird because the phone would ring, she’d sit on her chair to talk and automatically reach out for the ashtray/cigarettes/lighter (that had always been placed in that location). It was simply a trained response. Unfortunately, you can’t just stop driving. I am wondering if an E-Cig may help you. From what I have read, it looks like a cigarette, and you puff on it. It isn’t the same, of course, but you could still “smoke” something (or close) while driving.
