Actually, I don't think you're LOSING the mental game, because you're not just resigning yourself to failure. You're still working on yourself, trying to act on what you KNOW is rational. The contradiction between what you believe and what you do is bugging you, as it should. You're still on the right track.
And as far as the smokers at work, you know better than the "everyone else is doing it.." bit. I can tell by your other posts
JetBlack reminds me of one of my very best friends. He was such a heavy smoker that he'd go have a Marlboro in the middle of our workouts, between sets of benchpresses. One day he just QUIT. That was it, never had another one. It took HIM a long time to really decide to do it too, but then he did it. So keep talking to yourself about it.
