Second Hand Smoke Question

Last night, my family and I went to see the ventriloquist Jeff Dunham in Hollywood. He is quite funny and I strongly urge all of you to at least rent his dvd’s or look up the free stuff on youtube. He is hilarious!!!

That is not the point of this blog.

Before and after the concert, we spent several hours in Universal City Walk. There were quite a lot of smokers around.

At first, I wasn’t able to smell the smoke so I ignored it and everything was fine.

Throughout the evening, there was more and more exposure and I started to get really pissed off because I could smell the smoke everywhere. It was on my clothing and I could taste it in my mouth.

By the end of the evening, I actually found myself wanting to smoke.

We got lost on the way home and I stopped off at a convenience store to ask for directions. While I didn’t break down and buy a pack, it would have been incredibly easy to do so.

Today, I still find myself wanting to smoke. I’m not going to. If I were, I wouldn’t be writing this blog 🙂

I have read that second hand smoke contains enough nicotine to establish dependencies on people who have never smoked.

My question is:

Does second hand smoke contain enough nicotine to reestablish a dependency on someone who has already quit?

I am trying to interpret what I am experiencing right now. It seems stronger than a typical “memory crave” but at almost 4.5 months now, I have kind of forgotten what the physical stuff feels like beyond the fact that it can suck.

Has anyone else (who has been nicotine free for a while) experienced something like this?

Thanks in advance...
