Hey we're screen-name twins. That's cool.

Anyhow, thanks for the advice. I like the principle it works on. The one time I quit, it was on a bet if you can believe it. I lost the bet and the terms were that I had to quit cigarettes in a month. And I never welch on a bet.

I set up a schedule where I had allotments of cigarettes for each day, e.g. starting with 30 (my typical number), then 29, then 28, then 27, until finally I was down to just one. In retrospect it's hard to believe such a brain-dead method worked, but it did.
