It occurs to me that one reason smoking is so hard to give up
Is that it feels so much like a connection to our youth,
When we were carefree, or longed to be, believed we could be.
Perhaps only when we are comfortable in our middle aged skin
And all the cares that come with it
Do we no longer need it.

You’re so right.
I quit 30 years ago, but when I think about smoking, I remember how cool (or kewl according to G) it made me feel and I miss the cool/kewl, youthful feeling it gave me.
Nothing replaces that.
