No seriously, there's this pill, and you take it... and it makes you into a whiny nit-picking callous bitter ex-smoker in no time. I hear it's very successful. It's called zyban or something. Ask your doctor.
Man I hate that ad.

yeah not to mention the moment you ask someone to do this you`ll have no friends left either

Well I'm going to the Oppikoppi music festival in a month.
I will be consuming copious amounts of alcohol, possibly some illegal substances, with some good friends and great music.
I'm going to have to light up, just to celebrate the event.
But after that, I'm finished with those little cancer resevoirs, really...

Originally posted by kattyyou become an addict by doing it. despite propaganda, nothing is addictive with one try (if there are substances out there for which this isn't true, please correct me). but you try it, you like it, you do it again. over time the frequency of use increases until you can't imagine living without whatever it is that you're addicted to. i started smoking cigarettes socially, only with friends, drinking at bars, but i liked it, so i bought a pack, smoked occasionally on my own off and on for a long time before i realized i'd been smoking every day non-stop for about 7 years. it happens gradually, then you're there.
[b]How do you become an addict?
Quitting cigarettes is SO WORTH IT!!! Good for you. there's a book that helped me called Quitting Smoking The Easy Way written by a chain smoker who quit cold turkey. the trick is to free yourself. for me, it helped not to think of it as "quitting" because "quitting" has negative connotations. no one wants to be a "quitter". rather, consider what you're gaining- breath, life, energy, money, freedom from the need to smoke. if you can get past the first week, you're cool. just keep in mind: don't smoke. think of all the reasons you smoked cigarettes in the past- all the triggers that made you light up- those are the times you'll have to fight the hardest. after meals, break time, waiting at bus stops...
consider also, the cigarette buzz. it's not that cool. spin around in a circle while staring at the ground and you get the same effect. and remember- not only does the buzz suck, but if you smoke all the time, then you don't even get the buzz, just a momentary sense of relief, like you've been walking around in too tight shoes and are allowed to take them off for 5 min every half hour.
cigarettes cause nicotine addiction. cigarettes are packaged for addiction. and part of your own brain wants that stuff, so it will snuggle up to you and try to convince you it's okay. "it's been 3 days, or a week, you did it. now you can control it. why not celebrate with a cigarette?" every time you feed it, it gets stronger. the nicotine beast has to be starved and stomped. fight it. it's worth it. the first time you walk up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing is just around the corner.
and don't be jealous of others you see smoking. they're not enjoying something you can no longer enjoy. they are enslaved. when you see them smoking, remember it's never just one cigarette. it's another and another and another and another until you make the wise decision to cut it off. you will be challenged in your weakest moments. i wrote alot here because i feel very strongly about this issue. nicotine is far more dangerous than people think. i tried quitting so many many times... then i just did, while working in mexico in an office where Everyone else smoked. you can do it. fight hard.
