I smoked for over 40 Years, and when I decided I wanted to quit, I went to a Therapist to try "Zyban"  which had to be prescribed, before she would give me a prescription we talked for about an hour about my habit and one question I had was, would quitting smoking effect my Poker game? 
As I believed that Smoking helped me to Concentrate, She took me through a couple of stages asking me about why It couldn't possibly effect my game and the first game I played after quitting for over a week, I won easily.
Smoking gives you nothing except the chance of dying prematurely from ill health or Cancer. I quit and after 2 years My health was better for it and my bank balance was a damned site better for it I regularly had a monthly Balance of around £2,000 after paying out all my bills etc, After 2 years of being an Ex-smoker my Bank balance was over £10,000. Recently I was called to my local Branch to discuss my balance as I had over £40,000 in my current Account and they were afraid it was too much to keep in my Current Account earning nothing.
So I transferred £30,000 into a high interest Account and it is earning me about 3% in Interest, Not a lot, but a lot more than it was earning me 12 months ago. I have been off the cigarettes for almost 10 years now. The best move I ever made.
