this is my habit now, finish a game, light up, smoke while starting another game, smoke while building workers, then put cigarette out abruptly when spotting rush or when needing left hand on keyboard at all times. This habit is killing me. A patch is the price of 20 packs of cigarettes here, so I'm not getting that. What are some useful and practical tips for quiting smoking?

Just dont buy any cigarettes
seriously, when you have the possibility just control yourself not to buy any
then afterwards you'll be craving like mad but hey you wont have any cigs!

Its my method for keeping it waaay down (to like 2 smokes a day max)

So, please tell me that your reason for wanting to quit is something other than to improve your starcraft skills.
Do you really want chat rooms?

Instead of smoking at those times, doodle on a piece of paper with your left hand instead. Either that or some other semi-productive but necessarily necessary task. Exercise will help as well.

Get some marijuana.

Or roll your own so you can roll small ones.
You know you are throwing away so much tabacco by outting all the cigs at the sight of a rush.

Noob.

China's firewall sucks.

I dunno man. I've never had a smoking habit so I can't give any personal advice.

I guess it depends on the individual. Take my dad for example - the guy smoked like a chimney for 30 years. Then one day he's like "man, I shouldn't do this anymore" and he quit cold turkey. His way of thinking was that in order to quit you really have to want to quit. All those things like medications and patches and whatever only mask the fact that you still want to smoke. I guess that's the root of the evil that you really need to get rid of first to have any success.

But like I said, it all depends on the person. My old man is exceptionally stubborn so that made it easier for him. Someone like me, who can rationalize any bad idea to make it seem awesome, would have a much harder time quitting something like that.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

That's what some of my friends have done. They just stopped buying cigarrettes all together and relied purely on bumming cigs off of friends to feed their habit which for a while kept them down to only a couple cigs a day and even less as the days went on and their friend got tired of giving away their cigarettes. Then after about a month their friends decided to stop giving them any at all, so gg habit.
