"I choose not to smoke."
When I was in the Boy Scouts one of the "service" activities I participated in for a while was helping out at (something like, might have actually been) "Smoke Enders" meetings. It was a kinda 12-step program to stop smoking. The only thing I really remember was the point of telling oneself "I choose not to smoke". Make it a conscious decision every time, not an automatic thing.
It made sense to me.
Smoking has never much interested me. My mom smoked when I was a kid and once when I was around 7 I stole a pack of Pall Malls ("pell mells") from her purse to try them with my friends. It was HORRIBLE and killed the interest ever since.
Smoking killed my father's mother (she smoked unfiltered Camels, cancer), and mother's father (strokes). Probably did in my mom too (strokes). :-(
Good luck!!
Cheers,
Scott.
