I found this on the net and thought it may be useful to someone. If it stops 1 person from starting again then it's worth posting

The Smoker’s Vow

To be said just before taking your first puff or after

having quit for any appreciable period of time

With this puff I enslave myself

to a lifetime of addiction.

While I can’t promise to always love you,

I do promise to obey every craving and

support my addiction to you

no matter how expensive you become.

I will let no husband or wife,

no family member or friend,

no doctor or any other health professional,

no employer or government policy,

no burns or no stench,

no cough or raspy voice,

no cancer or emphysema,

no heart attack or stroke,

no threat of loss of life or limbs,

come between us.

I will smoke you forever

from this day forth,

for better or worse,

whether richer or poorer,

in sickness and in health,

till death do us part!

“You may now light the cigarette.”

“I now pronounce you a full-fledged smoker"

Juju, I could kiss you!

I woke up this morning thinking I really might smoke today. It all just seemed too hard and I found myself wandering down those dangerous thought-paths... 'Maybe I could just smoke for today and then get back on the wagon tomorrow.' Reading this post this morning helped me hugely and so I thank you from the bottom of my heart. xxx

I'm really glad it helped Newleaf it'd be such a shame to waste your good work so far.

I know some people in the past who have thought the same thing you were thinking, but then they feel so bad about starting again that it knocks their confidence so badly that they think they can't ever quit and end up smoking again for years.

Well done for having another sweet smelling smoke free day!
