Mike,

I still have not done my home work on this but I can give you a suggestion or two.

Take a good look at your habits of when you light up to smoke and change those situations by either taking a false cigarette which some do or reminding yourself right at that moment that you are taking another step at this time in your life to purify your body. Take one step at a time and don’t think about tomorrow but only at that moment you are dealing with this effort.

What is the most important thing/person/event in your life? Will you trade a cigarette in place of that thing/person/event?

If you are religious then think about your body as being the Temple of G-d. Aaron’s two sons died because they offered a strange fire (where there is smoke, there’s fire and the converse is true as well). The fire and smoke allowed in the Temple were the offerings and incense and nothing else.

Thanks for opening up this thread. Great idea.
