I found a site while surfing and though this was pretty neat. NO SMOKE's typical smoker's excuses with answers:

Excuse ---- "I really like to smoke."

Zap Excuse ---- "You think you really like to smoke, but what you really like is the temporary freedom smoking gives you from the craving for highly addictive nicotine. You're trying to quit because you want that enjoyable feeling permanently."

Excuse ---- "I inhale so much air pollution anyway, so the cigarettes don't matter."

Zap Excuse ---- "The dirt you suck into your lungs from smoking is 100 times more lethal than the worst air pollution. The combination of the two is particularly deadly. Just breathe out some cigarette smoke through a handkerchief and you'll get the idea."

Excuse ---- "It's the only "bad" thing I do to myself."

Zap Excuse ---- "Smoking may be the only bad habit you have, but it's worse than all others combined. It is an indulgence that comes at a high price."

Excuse ---- "I enjoy the taste of cigarettes."

Zap Excuse ---- "You only think you enjoy the taste of cigarettes because you are hooked. Even if you enjoy the flavor from time to time, is taste really a motivator for the cigarette after cigarette you smoke every day?"

Excuse ---- "I need to smoke to calm my nerves."

Zap Excuse ---- "You need to smoke to calm your nerves because your smoking habit makes you need to smoke to calm your nerves. Quitting smoking (after you've done it; not during the difficult process) not only breaks this cycle, but puts you into a more calm lifestyle. Smoking in itself is something of a nervous habit."

Excuse ---- "My cigarettes are my friends."

Zap Excuse ---- "With friends like these, who needs enemies. Would a friend get you hooked, damage your health, make you smell awful, control your behavior every day of your life?"

Excuse ---- "If I quit smoking, I'll gain weight."

Zap Excuse ---- "Some people gain weight after quitting smoking, but it's not automatic. Part of a rational approach to quitting smoking is not substituting unhealthy food behavior for the smoking. This program has a special interactive section on avoiding weight gain."

Excuse ---- "I'm a smoker and that's that. It's part of my lifestyle."

Zap Excuse ---- "This is the toughest excuse of them all to refute. But are you that much a slave to cigarettes that you need to devote your whole life to them? Think about it."

Excuse ---- "I can quit any time I feel like it."

Zap Excuse ---- "Many smokers are convinced they can quit any time they wish, but they do not realize how physically and psychologically addictive the smoking habit is. The answer is that they can quit, but only with a methodical system and a lot of support."

Excuse ---- "Low tar and nicotine cigarettes aren't so bad."

Zap Excuse ---- "Low tar and nicotine cigarettes lead you to smoke more, inhale more dangerous chemicals, and spend much more money than regular cigarettes to get the same nicotine "fix" you crave.

The false feeling of "safety" you get from these brands can keep you smoking long after you should have quit. It's all a (very profitable) gimmick."
