I do this as well. I quickly figure out what I am feeling or doing or thinking that makes me want to smoke.
If I choose not to do this, I find the craving will keep coming back.

I've also given my word to myself and my loved ones, so there's an element of dishonor if I fail. If I smoke, I'm breaking my word and I won't allow that.
Sometimes just the thought of having to confess to smoking is enough to keep me from smoking. I don't want to disappoint myself or others
I have thought about smoking and lying, but I suck at lying so that wouldn't work.
I am amazed at what my brain comes up with trying to convince me to smoke.
