It happened to me. I had quit smoking for 16 years and then after working at a catering job one evening, four of us sat down to listen to some piano music and have a glass of wine; all the other women were smoking. I smoked one cigarette. The next morning I bought a pack and smoked an additional 20 years until I quit again. It's been 12 years since I quit the second time, but I really do regret that I ever smoked that one cigarette.
