Seriously? I should hope nicotine addiction isn't a problem for you. Get help if it is or apply somewhere else. The last thing I would look forward to with my 29+ years is some nervous addict experiencing agitated nicotine withdrawal and/or foul up the airplane with cigarette lung exhaust next to me or while non-revving in back. Gross! Get help before you drop dead from this ridiculous habit. And God forbid this happens in any flight deck. Seriously, with all the knowledge that exists today regarding smoking and nicotine and associated dangers and risks, why would a pilot smoke? Duh-um!
