Im another one of those Smug B-----ds that fought and won the giving up battle. Not touched them for14 years now.
I found a great help was a false fag. Now this has to be well made so that you get the right 'Suck' on the damn thing, then following through with a good inhale and the Smokers exhale (I think all smokers know what I mean). This gave me great satisfaction. I then perfected this just using my smoking fingers as a way of creating a resistance to the drag, and this worked without the need for a false fag.
What also helped enormously was that I was very very proud of myself
Bear in mind though, you are never a Non Smoker - always an Ex Smoker. I know of one guy who was off them for 25 years and one night at an office party he somehow ended up with a fag in his hand - within a month he was back on 40 a day.
Armed with this story I resist all urges to just try one fag, and resort to my false fag technique to get over it.
