You can still smoke in some bars?
In Austria they completely outlawed that with the argument, that the workers are forced to work in a smoke filled room
I'm probably one of those old guys, but I really enjoy a cigarette to my "Feierabendbier" and now I'm pretty much never going to a bar anymore, because at home I can have that combination...
Mental setting is pretty much everything in nicotine withdrawal - at least in my experience
Physically it just doesn't do much
