Why do people chain smoke when they drink?

Question

I can go a whole week, EVEN TWO weeks, without a cig. Then I start drinking, and I can't stop. I don't gain anything from it. Why do I do it?

Answer 1

 I smoke. Smoking is another form of esacpe. Like all escapist practicing espacism this obviously leads to a path of more distess in ones life. Even knowing this how can you stop? Simply to add pain to stop smoking instead of having the pain that comes through when "wanting" to quit smoking. The idea of quit smoking isn't enough. Action isn't enough. Now everyone smokes for their apparent momentary  reason but this reasoning is just a trick of the mind we play ourselves into by succumming to the stress we inhale poisons.. as if there isn't enough Bullshit that is happening already.

Remember Attaching pain to smoking is better to becoming a non-smoker then to have the pain of having to quit for the suppossedly betterment for your temporal relief from stress that most choose not to let go! :D ha! f**k nicotine.
