Ex smoker here: this is a very under-appreciated challenge to smoking/nicotine quits. There are genuinely positive aspects of smoking that are going to be missed when you quit. The key is to reconcile this, and try and build in the opportunity for those little moments of peace and sanity (and often friendship and camaraderie) in a life without nicotine. There are pros and cons to both sides of nicotine addiction, the healthiest mindset, in my opinion, is to weigh of the sum totals of each and see that a life without nicotine is worth giving up some of the good moments too.
