I dont smoke cigs reguarly, but sometimes i'll smoke for anywhere between a week and a few months then quit. I smoked for about 4 weeks, then stopped, had cravings for like 2 days, and then was fine. now it's been a week and a half since ive smoked, no cravings past the first 2 days, completely fine, then i had a random cig craving. How can i have a craving if im not addicted?
 
You may not be completely addicted but your brain knows how good it feels to smoke. Especially since you smoked for weeks and then quit.. It's different for everyone. If you don't want to smoke anymore just ride it out, the cravings never completely go away for most smokers but you shouldn't have too much trouble.
 
It's just mental I got a craving to smoke the other day and I haven't smoked in like 4 years.
 
I'm not trying to quit permanantly, i just stop every once in a while to make sure my addictions managable. I was just wondering and a bit worried.
