Turned off of smoking?

Has any smoker who has gotten of opiates found that they lost their taste for smoking? I'm thinking of quitting smoking now too. Heck, I'd rather crave a smoke than a pill

I quit cigs (pack a day) about 3 weeks after I quit the pills.  I'm not necessarily advocating that, just telling you what happened with me.  I'm 5 months off the pills and over 4 months off cigs

Actually I used chewing tobacco and with stopping opiates I didnt like the nicotine.  It seemed to make me a bit sick.  But then coming off meds makes me sick from everything.  But I quit both at the same time.  But Chew and smoke are two different animals.  Who thinks they are "clean" even though you smoke?  Funny what we all determine as clean.  Sobriety is your own thing.  Everyone keep on their track.  My track is my track.  All I can do Is offer you my story. Smoking is an addiction right????  Strange strange strange.

I would take one thing at a time right now.  Get off the pills and work on your recovery first.
