I'd have to agree with Wandering Zero. I used to smoke for a little while, but I quit on a dare. There was no way that I was going to go back on a dare so I had to quit cold turkey. It was hard, but I was able to go through it. After that it was actually easy to keep from having a cigarette as long as you kept the <i>big picture</i> in mind. Now I can't stand the smell of someone who has just had a smoke. Yuk.
