As for loving the flavor ...

 

...  you're supposed to think and sense you love it!  Look at all the pretty colored boxes and packs behind your former nicotine supplier's counter, each targeted to different tastes.  Hundreds of millions of dollars has been invested by tobacco companies into flavor research that resulted in hundreds and hundreds of taste and smell additives being packed into cigarettes.  Billions have been spent on marketing to convince children and teens that smokers smoke for taste instead of because they're addicted to smoking nicotine and have lost all choice

 

Below is a list of known (with many yet to be discovered)  U.S. cigarette taste and smell additives.   Imagine lighting your favorite perfume on fire, adding nicotine and then inhaling it.  Imagine lighting your favorite food or flavor on fire and then adding nicotine and inhaling it.   To make 4,000+ chemical compounds and 43 known carcinogens smell great while burning, and taste great while destroying your lungs, heart, and mind, what more could a drug addict ask for! 

 

Imagine using urea in cigarettes as a flavor additive.  It has been done.   The vast sea of  pretty colored boxes on display behind the counter in stores are the result of tobacco companies being able to identify a group of nicotine addicts who prefer certain chemical flavor additives over others.  

 

If you'd like to try and find out the primary additives in your brand go to your favorite search engine and type in your brand name + ingredients + cigarette.   It works pretty well with www.google.com  Keep in mind that for purposes of product secrecy some companies are now only revealing the "primary" additives.   You may find a catch all phrase in small print, usually at the end, for the "minor" additives like urea
