I'd like to second Bobert - think about the tobacco industry and their heinous practices, and the ludicrous amount of your money they'd like to get their hands on. Think about the way they advertise their products, and the way they're pushing them in the third world, now that their first world market is wising up. (They have attractive young street teams handing out freebies to teenagers on African beaches, that kind of thing - get them young).

Get angry, and refuse to be suckered. I think this was the most potent and helpful thing that I got from reading Alan Carr's book, can't remember the title but he has several give-up-smoking books. I gave up a number of times, and after reading his book, finally succeeded, and surprisingly easily.

Also - my grandfather died of emphysema, caused by smoking. It's a slow and a horrible death. And totally avoidable...

Keep at it, Morticia - you'll never regret it.
