I did quit smoking a year ago because of a respiratory scare. Now I don't miss it at all. Maybe because smoking for me was never a pleasure but something I used to do when I was angry and/or anxious. Whenever I was relaxed and content with my lot I never thought of lighting a cigarette. Maybe that's why after the scare I haven't missed it a bit. I even dislike the smell of it. I was chained to it for almost three decades of my life.
But I understand you, and can because smoking was something that gave you real pleasure.
Its funny how sometimes we need something to happen to realize we are making a mistake... I am glad you realized before it was too late and I hope I can keep this complicated quest to avoid smoking :D
