Some years ago I got into the successful habit of only smoking when I went to the pub. I did it for years, only smoked when I drank beer in pubs. I was also cycling a lot at the time, I lived in Belgium, and felt good.
Since then I have fond that with stress I started to smoke all the time, but I have been getting really sick of it this last year. It has truly started to nauseate me so I have been looking for an excuse for a while. and also right now I am in a fairly non stressful situation.
The odd thing though, is that smoking actually stimulates you and so doesn't relieve stress at all. So god knows why we turn to a fag in times of stress. Weird.

Probably because your glasses aren't covered with nicotine stain. You probably noticed that everything you see aren't quite as yellow as well. 
I quit for 20 years, then I started occaisionally like you, when I was having a beer or two. Guess I need to stay away from the bar.
Congrats on the first month. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Well done, that man. Keep it up.
I gave up about 20 years ago. Felt crap for a year, put on a bit of weight but it is worth it.

30-40 a day!!! It was bad. 
Anyway, put on weight and had a cough for ages. Also, I quit cold turkey. Just stopped one Thursday afternoon in September. Got in my car and went to light up. Decided I didn't want to do it anymore and have not smoked since. Have never even craved ne and I'm not all that bothered if others smoke around me though I do hate the smell.
Good luck: it's never too late to quit. Except, of course, if you are on your death bed. Not going to help you at that point.

Works well doesn't it? In a few weeks it will be a year since I had a cold, stopped smoking and did not buy any more tobacco since then. Instead, I now spend that money on building and flying model helicopters.

Tobacco was my thing too, roll ups. Still, even when I smoked them I could feel my energy being sapped.
Its a real killer, and owrse than that, its a shadow life. A real waste of time. If you smoke, just do it properly and kill yourself, If not, then live!

I envy you  . One last question do you smoke when you drink? or have you removed that generic constraint?
congrats
