You've just momentarily recreated emphysema. It sounds easy but try breathing in and out through a straw -- you can't breathe all the way out which is comparable to having emphysema.

Maybe try handcuffing him to an oxygen tank? Persistently ridicule him for being a moron?

I held my dad's hand while he died from this . . . and he quit smoking about fifteen years before that - it still got him in the end .
Ok so you are recommending assault and false imprisonment to get someone to stop smoking?
