Good to know. Breathing exercises and keeping pictures of fucked up lungs and mouths around are the only techniques I could think of.
Actually, there's a subtle, existential thing I was thinking of. Just tell myself, "I am not a smoker." When I get a craving, I will say, "But I do not smoke for I am not a smoker, so why do I want a cig? It is an irrational thought and can be dispensed with." Might help. I sort of doubt it.
Care to make it interesting? First one who smokes has to pay the other $25,000.

Funny, I was going to ask if it helped or hindered. It helps? Oh sweet mercy. I might have to pray to something.
I've tried the "cut down" method. Doesn't work with me. I learned I have an all-or-nothing personality. Moderation ain't my scene. So, starting tomorrow when I wake up, gonna rip that monkey off my back entirely.
