Still keeping my smoking well under control (pack every two weeks), but work (especially as a mechanic) and personal disappointments are still stressful enough to smoke, even with outlets like the gym. It seems whenever I can find a window to reduce my intake or even quit, something from work bites hard enough to keep me on it. More or less it's probably the hostile work environment, because I've been around a couple of shops where no tech smokes, and there's a strong sense of cohesion and the shop atmosphere as a whole is relaxed and welcoming. I walk into mine, there's no organization whatsoever, everyone is at each other's throats, and there's a nearly constant sense of resentment.
