First, I want to thank you for a great collection of videos on why quit.com.   You may very well have saved my life.  Without the guidance of those video's, I don't think I would have made it through the last 72 hours of nicotine detox.  I think this quit is going to stick, though, and the knowledge you have provided really helps a lot.  My question is in regards to a comment you made about acid releasing when a smoker becomes angry and how the acid immediately takes unabsorbed nicotine to the urine with it causing a need for a quick fix.  This fix is then interpeted by the smoker as having a calming effect when, in fact, it is actually contributing to temporary stabilization of a more volatile environment.  Do all emotions realease acids to one degree or another?  Do they have a similar types of physical interactions with nicotine levels in the system?   This interaction really makes sense as to the "emotional" hold cigarettes have over people.     I have noticed that cravings come directly with emotions and not always anger and am trying to be careful about situations that can lead to different emotional states at this point.   It that wise or should I try not to look too deeply at the reasons for cravings ?  They do seem to have subsided to more manageable levels today, but tomorrow may be another story.
