No, but you are very susceptible to nicotine! Ny husband gave up smoking in 2000 (he was on 25 Marlborough a day), we went through 2 years of hell with his withdrawal symptoms until it all seemingly calmed down. 7 years ago for a "joke" his boss gave him some chewing tobacco to try (I told him not to but of course he didn't listen...)and he's now been using that for 7 years. To my mind it is worse than smoking the stuff -pretty disgusting to be honest. My point is that like an ex-alcoholic you are are just one step away from being hooked again -so take care! 
Didn't read through the thread to see about the nicorette gum! 
You could try alternating with Wrigley's spearmint gum and slowly cut down to zero - you will be hell to live with throughout the process though -warn those who know you! Nicotine affects exactly the same areas of the brain which heroin does...
