 I straight up miss smoking. I'm going to start again when I turn 70.

 is it just tobacco smoke, or all smoke?  do you like, say, campfires?

 I'm not claiming it's a good idea, but I really do miss a pack of Camel Lights.

 Same. I quit smoking in 1998 and miss it still.

 I know what you mean. When my roommate smokes, I sometimes do get a slight craving. But then I remember what it’s doing to my lungs as well as making me smell like an ashtray and it fades rather quickly.

It’s not something you can half ass. Like any habit you try to quit, you have to really want to.
