Health.  Coughing in the morning.  I do feel aggravated when I stop smoking though... more anxiety and stress..

Fishing.  I could have some awesome gear.

• John is fine not to smoke at work, but as he walks to his vehicle to go home he has a smoke.
• Mary never smokes around her family, but overdoes the smoking when out having a few drinks, then sneaks away from her family to have a smoke, with the false belief they won't smell it on her.
