I used my ego to give up! I was working for a company that was putting a lot of pressure on employees to give up smoking to promote their healthy image (ski resort), anyway my manager at the time went on the zyban and kept smoking! I thought "You weak *****! You have the most expensive highest technology anti smoking cure and you still steal my durries! I'm better than you and I'm gonna prove it by giving up cold turkey." So in the next couple of weeks i cut down one a day till it was none a day and stayed off it! It was satisfying when he (the manager) was searching through my bag at morning tea looking for my smokes and I said "sorry pete, I gave up." Just getting that satisfaction has kept me off them four years later.
