I smoke only at night and outside. After work it just calms me during the witching hour (5-8). I have gone 3 days without drinking and am feeling good so far. Especially like to smoke after dinner when I should already have a good buzz going. A smoke blunts the stinging of the wanting. I quit chewing tobacco 7 years ago, and I am back with the tobacco starting last year, I found out that a smoke during a good buzz enhances the feeling tremendously. Damn. It was totally by accident. I hated smokers. But I tried it while I was buzzed and holy freaking crap, what a boost and thats how I got on it, well, back on it. What is sad is that I said to myself, how about if I chew again? I can hide it easier! Jeez, the crap we do to get a buzz...
