The same thing is happening to me, although I think it's more that it was in the works before and smoking is bringing it out in the open faster.
All we do is sit around and chain-smoke on the porch. I'm realising how boring that is, and how intolerant my "friends" actually are now that I don't have the distraction and support of a cig. Used to be I would just accept whatever their opinions or thoughts were and if it made me angry, I would just light up a smoke and get over it.
Funny, now that I don't want to smoke anymore, I'm finding it hard to stomach some of their discussions. My having ambivilant feelings about my friends has very little to do with THEM (they haven't changed), but is more to do with ME and how I deal with them. I need more time to think about it and learn to deal with my own anger issues before I take on my friends, though.
