You know, you likely find it relaxing because you're getting that nicotine fix that you were craving. That's why people that try to quit often feel anxious or whatever; they're going through the withdrawals.
I could see how the time itself could be relaxing, but why not just spend it without smoking? I like my time on the shitter. Sometimes I'll go sit on the toilet for 15 minutes even though I know I don't have to shit. I'll have a seat, think about the day, think about tomorrow, check CP...
You should pick up meditation or reading or something. That's just as relaxing and actually healthy as well.

It's not easy to understand if you haven't been a smoker for a long period of time. You don't simply replace smoking with another activity and find any satisfaction. It's a complete lifestyle change, not just a switch of hobbies.
You're right about the satisfaction/reward aspect though.
