Figure out what you liked so much about smoking, and realize that it never really added anything positive to your life.
Most of the movies you've seen in your life were dominated by cool characters sucking on cigs. Cartoon camels beckoned you as a child. Maybe your parents smoked, or any elder you looked up to.
It's all a lie.
In the beginning, it was a simple -- yet brilliant -- marketing ploy. Nobody was getting hurt, right? Why not supply the military and Hollywood with free cigs?
But in the sixties, it got dirtier: the manufacturers KNEW they were poisoning you, but they considered it a strategic plus for the product.
They even rigged "light" cigarettes so that the smoking machines would register less crap then your body does. Tiny little holes allowed bits of smoke to escape. Not coincidentally, most users cover these holes with their fingers and/or mouths while smoking.
Now, any time you reach for a cig, you're succumbing to a century old marketing ploy that has continued in the face of reason. Baaaaa?
