oh and in the words of Mark Twain, "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times"

Up-voting even though I personally had a hard time relating to this guy's message. I'm a smoker, and so I watched it because even though I have no desire to quit, I'm open to ideas that challenge my own. What's strange is that half of his poker chips wouldn't even be on the table for me, they aren't a factor either way. Boredom? I don't think I've ever lit up because I was bored.
I'm still trying to figure out what he says for the 3rd reason (3rd poker chip) to not smoke. It sounds like he says... Slavery?

I also smoke. I am going to try and utilize his philosophy as it makes a bit of sense to me. I'm not one of those "self-help" nuts, so I don't think I'll be going to the extent of buying his book, but I can relate to his message. Smoking really doesn't make my life better (anymore). It, in many ways, hinders my life in more ways than just my health.

...this is day 2, we'll see how it goes

nah. Allen Carr made a great point when he claimed that there are no positive things for cigarettes. So far I've spent my days at work and not smoking here is easy...just gotta keep busy. The real test will be this weekend because I know I'll have a couple of cocktails. Thanks for the concern
