I never read it. I have to agree with you, though. I loved [good quality] cigarettes and beer or coffee or whisky. I don't regret quitting at all. I do wish I could enjoy it without getting addicted—but I can't. That said I don't like the smell anymore, and I have very little inclination to start up again. I don't think having a smoke would cause me to fall right back in anymore, but few occasions are worth it. But yeah, always loved smokey smells and flavours (I love peaty scotch). So that premise you targeted is a bit naive on the author's part. For the record, I quit without any aids outside of a bad illness for about a week and the desire to stop.
