I originally quit out of spite. One of my big tough friends decided to quit and he wouldn't stop bitching so I decided to do it to, and complain less, just to piss him off (2 packs a day for 10 years, cold turkey, got the idea from Trainspotting). We locked ourselves in his apartment and watched cartoons in silence, and ate apples and carrots for 3 days. Afterwards I left. Then it was just a matter of saying "no" enough times that I started to see myself as a "non-smoker". I was completely off them about a year, then I dated this girl who smoked. I've smoked off and on since then, but I still consider myself a "non-smoker" even though I have a few if I go out. I can go days, or weeks without one, and I rarely finish them anymore. The trick is to stop thinking of yourself as a smoker, and when your brain wants a cigarette remind yourself that you don't smoke anymore.
