Maybe you should try smoking in moderation.

No, if he's smoking 1/8 to 1/4 every day, then he's got a serious problem, and it's very unlikely that being an occasional smoker is an option for him. Would you tell someone who downed two liters of vodka a day just to have an occasional drink or two?


To the OP: do your friends smoke regularly? If so, you're going to have a very hard time hanging out with them and staying sober. Something to consider. Also, as has been suggested, if you ever get the urge don't be afraid to call someone or go to a meeting -- NA or AA, in most places it won't matter which, and in some places AA would be vastly preferable. Good luck, sir.
