Shick is outta biz, but there's NO reason why you can't set up your own "shick". The first day, they put you in a stinky room with an overflowing ashtray. You smoke three cigarettes back to back as fast as you can. They get hotboxed real fast, and by the time you're half way through the first one you wanna puke. It's burning your mouth. It's burning your fingers.. Oh, yeah.. When you reach for the cigarette, you get a mild shock. When you put in your mouth, a mild shock. When you exhale, a mild shock..
You can't smoke in between visits and you go for 10 days. Now, I know you don't have the shocker, but maybe you can ask your wife to whack you on the head.
I HOPE you do it, no matter HOW. You're my friend, and I HATE to see you poisoning yourself. My dad died at 51. That's damn near 20 years of life that I've had, that tobacco robbed him of.
