"savouring the taste, the aroma" is just the BS you tell yourself. It's just about the hit for you, too.

No, it's not. I've never had a habit of smoking 15-20 a day. Always one a week on average. I'm happy that you found a way to quit a habit that had become a vice for you, but that doesn't mean that your experience is necessarily mine. For instance, I love the faint smell of tobacco and smoke on my fingers after I've smoked a cigarette. Did you ever experience that? Most probably not, because what you were taking from smoking from day one was different from what I take from it.

Don't mistake your own experience with something as being a universal truth.

i got fired from being the check-out girl at a grocery store because every time people would buy a box of cigarettes, i would hold them by the corners and say "ew, gross" before i dropped them in the bag. i lasted 3 days.

On the contrary, if you have been able to smoke one cigarette a week for an extended period of time, without progressing to smoking more often, then it is you who is in the exceedingly small minority. Very few people's experience of nicotine is like that.

By comparison, I only take ecstasy once or twice a year. But when I do it's still the hit I enjoy, not the taste....
