I have some kind of tobacco going pretty much non-stop.

I use pipes for situations I would normally smoke 30 cigarettes, like a road trip or while I'm reading at night, or watching tv. I use cigars in this position also, but to a lesser extent.

The times I cant smoke anything, I'll do the dip. If I'm full on nicotine, I'll use the chew.

The times I must have a cigarette, like after meals, or when I'm in close quarters with my wife, I'll have a cigarette. She never complains about anything, but pipe or cigar smoke she wont abide.

The times when my sinuses are clear and the pipe blend I'm smoking is weak on the N, I'll toot some nasal snuff.

My trigger is basically being awake.

I think I am addicted to nicotine. When I started smoking a pipe I still rolled my own tobacco, and I didn't really get any nicotine buzz out of the pipe, but now that it is my only mode of getting N, some blends can actually leave my stomach feeling not too great.

I usually have a cigar going or a pipe or both, smoking some of a cigar and then swapping it out to puff a pipe really brings out the best in both for me, something about the contrast. If im away there is a decent chance im smoking, so my trigger is being awake.
 
My trigger is forethought. As soon as the thought crosses my mind (pretty much all day, if i'm home) then the reflexes take over and the puffing commences. Of course hopping on the forums and perusing the What Are You Smoking thread is just fuel to the fire.
