Just put cranberry sauce* in a ring halfway down each fag; then you'll stop smoking at that point as they'll go out.
Move the cranberry nearer the end each week.

Cold turkey and cranberry sauce are a logical combination, although no-one knows why, except Marlboro Man, who hasn't been on here for ages.







*(mint sauce won't work, it has to be cranberry. Otherwise you'll just get a craving for Menthols).
