Is it that little device Jackie Mason mentioned once upon a time? My friend who used it was a three-pack-a-day smoker, and she was clean during Week 8.
It'd be pretty labor-intensive to do it yourself with a sewing needle!
It's a box, I think. It puts a lot of holes in the cigarettes, so many that when you puff on one all you get is air.
A lot of smoking is just habit, get a cup of coffee, light a cig., read the paper, get a cig. I smoke a lot so I know. Nicotine cigs would probably work as a person could still go through the motions of lighting up but lose the desire for nicotine.
