This act was not because I smelt like a disgusting ashtray, or concern for my long term health and well being. Nope, it was because I was told, in no uncertain terms, that if I had a cigarette less than 24 hours prior to my ankle operation in February, then I would not have said operation. This, apparently, because nicotine and anaesthetic do not mix particularly well.

Anyway I am not that bothered about smoking at the moment. It wasn't that hard to quit, I figure it's down to my mental state - do I really want to do this?

I used to smoke far too much weed and hashish at one point. Every day for a couple of years, yet it didn't influence my working life badly - just my wallet as it were. Hell back then it was party all weekend - Sundays and Thursdays included, and then work all week trying to make money for the aforementioned. It wasn't all alcohol and weed though, - I have probably tried everything there is to try except for the ol needle and the damage done. Never felt 'addicted' to anything from the drug world though, even if a few summers were a tad overindulgent on my behalf. Looking back, I'm glad I did it - no regrets, but on the other hand, it was probably a wise decision to leave that life waaaaaay behind.

Weed is only for the occasional weekend, and alcohol equally so - I do suspect that my intake of both will increase drastically during the summer, but I am perfectly fine with that.

Regarding food: I need to watch what I eat, but I've never really had an unhealthy addiction. I loooooove food and I thank my mom's home cooking for that. That will never change, even if I end up looking like Meat Loaf.   

I got a girl friend who hated smoking, and I felt I would get problems with my bronchi if I continued (I was beginning to smoke a cigar almost daily), so eventually I gave up, but it wasn't very hard. I never officially stopped, but I haven't smoked in 10 years or something like that. No craving.

Coffee had been a bigger problem. I used to drink 9 mugs of strong coffee per day.

I brought it back to six cups of not so strong coffee, but it's hard to keep myself to that.

Alcohol too: One or two glasses of wine per day is normal for me, plus a few beers per week. But after I drank 2 alcoholic beverages or something like that, it's hard not to take any more. 

Food can be a problem too. I like chocolate, peanuts and other high calories snacks, a lot. It's hard to be moderate.

But apart from smoking, I never stopped with anything, and stopping to smoke was not hard, since I never smoked much, and to make a billclintonesque remark: I never inhaled 

I get into the drink a bit too, and I'm probably drunk about twice a week. I go through a 700mL bottle of spirits once a week on average, I'd say. I'd ultimately rather give up alcohol over good sh*tty food I can currently consume, because having alcohol alone would be sh*t.

I can't drink coffee because it effects my heart rhythm (I do miss it, and wish I could at least use it to pep me up a bit sometimes). Caffeine is not something I've been hooked on though.

I only smoke a small amount on the occasion, no addiction.  

Same here. I quit 3  years a go, but still crave them. Even dream about them once in a while. And if someone's smoking nearby, I love inhaling the smoke. Stupidest thing ever, picking up smoking...
