Psychologically: distraction. Don't think about smoking, which I realize sounds fucking impossible. It's kind of like losing the game.

And there are health benefits to consider and remember, but I don't have to tell you about that. How's that holding up, by the way?

I count minutes. It's holding up exactly as well as you'd imagine in the stage where a person counts minutes.

Ouch. You know the 'watched pot' saying? Same principle applies.

But this ought to do wonders for your pulse rate, anyway.

You realize what you're suggesting is a little like advising a suffocating person not to think about how they miss air.

Yeah, it's like being inside a disco of stress.

Yeah, thus the whole fucking impossible thing. Sorry, man.

That I might be able to help with, since I'm putting the degree to good use around here.

It's a good thing I'm applying all this effort, then.

At least tell me the coughing lessens up.
