Too right!
I blew a one year quit, way back when I was young - and I never really tried to quit again until this time - a gap of over 30 years.
The key here is understanding (and acknowledging!) the nature of nicotine addiction, something I had little idea about until I came to SSC and started to learn.

I think those that lapse think that after a certain length of time think that it must be possible.
Certainly I have spoken to some very long term quitters (10 years or more) who wonder if they could "handle it" now. They don't need or even want to smoke, they are just curious (didn't most of us start smoking in the first place because of curiousity?)
Once you have taken on board the idea of NOPE (not one puff ever) hopefully the temptation to "play with fire" will not trouble you.
