The key to tobacco use other than abstaining is only to smoke at certain times and not on impulse which is impossible when addicted to ciggies.

Not at all. Or maybe for you, but blanket statements like this are seldom true for everyone. After 30 years of smoking cigarettes I quit cold turkey, no problem. Couple years later decided I had given up something I enjoyed against my will and started again with the promise, which I've kept, that I will never smoke a cigarette out of habit. Only when it will be truly appreciated. Some days I don't smoke at all, some days I do, but I enjoy every single one (which I make myself).

Clearly you're right..I'm speaking for myself....I did have a girlfriend once who only smoked at night. For me cigars are a much less intense addiction ...and I truly do not inhale....other than the cloud in the room.
