Nope.
It's not a nicotine thing. I've found that I don't crave nicotine.
I thing I crave the combination of the destructive action combined with channeling the stress/rage/anger/worry into something that I can burn.
As I told my sister-in-law, "If you don't give me a cigarette, I'm going to *expletive deleted*ing burn this *expletive deleted*ing town."
And I meant it.
