Yeah, Cluin...that is mysterious, all right. It seems to be a nervous habit, like biting your nails, or running your hands through your hair. Then there's the other question: why in god's name do smokers want to smoke right after having sex?!? Are the cigarettes jealous or something? Yuck.

Deckman, you are absolutely right. Something inside the smoker has to trigger the decision to quit. No outer argument or grisly evidence will compell or convince them to until that something inside clicks in and actually wants to. It's like that with quitting coffee too. Believe me, I know. It was not easy to quit drinking coffee, until finally I just reached the point where I absolutely did not want it anymore, regardless of whether it smelled good and reminded me of past pleasant occasions or not.
