I worked with a guy who quit not only smoking but mainlining heroin, he said heroin was easier to kick

For the next year I thought about them a lot - but never gave in. Nowadays I truly don't even think about having one. I now know how I smelled when smoking - my clothes, the house, yuck.

My only advice - if you have a friend with pneumonia spend lots of time with him/her. Try to get really sick - that ought to help.
Before I started smoking I had bronchitus (sp) a number of years in a row and pneumonia once. Im not going to credit smoking for not having a reoccurence of either.
