The point is that the reason you smoke, even when you're consciously trying not to, is because of chemical addiction. Addicts build up a myriad of justifications for their addictions. I liked the taste of cigarettes. They helped me wake up in the morning. I smoked to concentrate. I smoked to distract. I smoked to relax. I smoked so I wouldn't overeat etc. At the end of the day, I didn't really smoke for those reasons. I smoked because cigarettes were chemically rewarding and I had become conditioned/dependent on smoking.
