Pretty much. I can get my nic on inside now, so... I need to create reading time.
I'm in the exact same boat - I get my "fake smoke" breaks as frequently as the smokers - and yes, they call it a "fake smoke break" too, lol...I miss my cigarette breaks at work where I would go outside for 5 or so minutes...often with another smoker and get away from the restaurant. My boss is good at giving me my "fake smoke" breaks if I want though but I often don't take them.
Of course, the trade off is that I don't have to wait until we slow down or have to go outside in inclement weather and can get my fix anytime I want (as long as it's out of customer site...or unless they ask to see me demo my ego lol).
I miss the socializing while having a cig. I could always go outside and have that one thing in common with a fellow smoker. I am glad though I do not rely on it anymore though to get me through the day.
I just socialize anyway. I like going outside now for it's own sake. I never made a big deal about switching (or going to zero nic) so people assume that I'm still smoking....something. This is great since it means they think I "have" to get outside 3 times a day.
