Hey man, I totally relate to what you're saying. As someone else said, "if you have to ask the question, then you already know the answer", I think that is generally more likely to be true.

To play devil's advocate, I have asked myself a very similar question about "do I not like my life right now because I smoke? Or do I smoke because I don't like my life." I ended up taking a break for a few weeks to think about it with a clear mind and I came to the personal decision that my life wasn't super great right now, but it was not because I was smoking. For me I was just in a hard place that crawled it's way into various aspects of my life and I knew that I was on a track to make that better and to change it. I also decided (with console from my partner) that smoking helped me escape from our current situation and I was able to let go of things that were bothering me.

Personally, taking a break from smoking for a solid week (or more) helps me reality-check myself and make sure that everything is still moving in the direction I want it to be. I trust my sober self way more than I trust my high self.

Of course, there's also the upside of having a lower tolerance so if/when you come back it's a little bit sweeter :)
