You're quite right in that respect. I gave up for eighteen months in the early nineties, but back then smokers were all around you. But that's all changed now, if you light up or pop outside for a cigarette you get a mixture of disgusted or amused looks and it can feel quite embarrassing.
Just stubbed out my last one, and I am convincing myself that rather than suffering a deprivation I am in the process of a liberation, free from the damn things at last. I WILL do this.
