@snacks this is an example of people going down a retarded mental path
if you do something for a long time, you will always be able to look back on it and your brain will always remind you of it. cigarettes are no exception. just because you think of smoking cigarette doesn't mean "the cravings never really go away". You can turn it into "the cravings never really go away", the brain is a powerful enemy of itelf. but at its core it's a simple mental process of remembering that you once did something. it's just people who fall for the meme that make themselves believe it is anything more than that
