I also smoked out on the porch. It is side porch, and I don't really have to go out there for anything. I get the mail in the front, and leave by the back door, etc. However, when I find myself wanting to go out to the side porch to have a smoke, I have found for me that it is easier if I actually go out there with my straw pretend cigarette, and inhale deeply sitting where I always smoked. It keeps me from feeling deprived and I get some fresh air and deep breathing, too!
