I was in my 20s but that is what I did. No withdrawal other than the 
actions associated with reaching for a cigarette. I could see those for 
what they were, a conditioned act, rather than a desire for a cigarette.

Sometime later I read an article about some fatal disease that caused 
people to spontaneously stop smoking. That doesn't seem to have been the 
case.
