No, not really. I used to but that was a long time ago.
I got asthma from that shit. So when I was in my pulmonary doctors office 20 years ago I saw a chart he had on the wall of age and lung capacity for a smoker. After 35 years old the scale dropped off the chart and that hit home. So I quit on my 35th birthday. I saw an ann landers article from the American cancer society about the top 100 effects to your body after quitting smoking. So I kept a copy in my work truck, my personal truck lol almost everywhere. And when I did have the craving I would pull out that copy and read it and that made those cravings go away.
Look at it this way. People spend money on their cars and their houses and they don’t take care of their own body’s. I had way too much invested in my retirement to spend it horizontal.
Edit: I gained weight for about two years but my attitude was I’ll deal with that after I get over the smoking. Then I started working out like a demon and the asthma actually went away. I haven’t had breathing problems in 20 years either
