The Mission: Stop smoking cigarettes
The Rationale: I don’t really care about the health effects of smoking. I don’t really care about the cost of smoking. What I do care about is feeling powerless in the face of my addiction. I am just not comfortable being in the power of something other than myself, especially something inanimate. So I’m quitting. Cold turkey.
