In truth extricating oneself from a drug dependency isn't much of a sacrifice; the positives (health, wealth and control) far outweigh any negatives.
I firmly believe that the key to being a content ex-smoker is to let go of the idea that you are depriving yourself. You're not, you've just stopped poisoning yourself, after all the 2nd usage of nicotine is as an insecticide, sure you got the occasional buzz but most of the time smoking was just a relief from the bodies desire to maintain sufficient nicotine levels. You can experience similar relief by drinking a litre of tea before a long car journey, when you reach your destination and finally get to have a slash its just as good!
You know, instead of thinking about stuff that deeply, you could try sex !
