I don't feel I will be able to quit now, because I am missing one important thing. Truly wanting to quit. I like the idea of quiting, and know I should. But at the moment I don't really want to. I like having it as a crutch.
Does it interfere with spirituality in any way?

The same thing happened to me,
exactly!
I have cut down a lot and smoke about 2 packs a week, but it's something I cannot give up totally and I cannot do NRT.
What is helpful for me...A bit...is to have a glass of water and sip it through a straw every time I feel like a cigarette..but then, there are those times I will just say "screw it" and have a smoke anyway.
At the moment, I am trying some apps like Habit Bull to see if they work, but I agree that an idle mind is part of my problem and it needs to be constantly distracted, so upping my meditation regime can only help in that regard.
