One of my coworkers has one, and he let me hit it, and it was like the real deal. I think I'll get one before the FDA tries to ban them, which I believe that they are.

In the end I never really quit, I just cut it down from a half pack a day to a half pack a year.
I still smoke one every once in a while, if I can bum one off someone in a bar. It doesn't seem to reactivate the addiction in me, or I just don't have a propensity for addiction. By the time I am done smoking 3/4 of it, I am re-disgusted and ready to not smoke one again for months or years.
I've got a little one now so I don't think I've had more than 2 or 3 cigarettes in the past three years.
I know two really addicted guys that got some kind of new anti-depressant medication specifically designed to help them quit, and evidently it really works. I can't recall the name though.
