Same!

I keep thinking about quiting and know I should but I don't want to - if that makes sense!

I know I should, but I really can't be @rsed

I don't have a smoking addiction/habit, it just turns into a routeine..

Stop for a break on the bike, have a smoke.. etc.

I quit about 9 months ago.

Allan Carr´s book "The Easy Way" really helped me out, and to be honest I haven´t had any cravings since quitting. I feel annoyed with myself now, that I smoked for so many years before quitting.

Cant beat a good cigar and a pint

Never had a cigar...

I only smoke when out on the bike, when drinking or on holiday (IOM TT was a bad week for me last week!)

Gave up everyday smoking about 4 years ago - now I make a 12.5gm pouch of tobacco last about 6-8 weeks

¿Qué?

Quit 7 or 8 years ago as well.

Two times I get cravings is when sitting al fresco outside a bar and someone starts smoking at the next table and I catch it on the wind, and second is at rideouts when you stop and all the smokers get the fags out.

Have given in when ****ed a few times, but never on a rideout, and I still enjoy a smoke, but nowadays I hate the nicotine aftertaste from a cigarette.

I will smoke cigars when they are floating about (weddings, etc), and I have a good friend who lives in Mexico and quit cigareetes, but smokes a couple cigars a day. We meet up for one week per year and ride bikes, talk sh!t, drink whisky, and smoke 10 cigars a day. Don't ask me why, we both used to smoke 20 cigarattes a day when we were students, we used to enjoy the occasional night on whisky and cigars, and old habits die hard.
