Here is something I thought was interesting for anybody looking ahead to a New Year's Resolution. I found this in Good Housekeeping Jan. 2008 issue. In a study at Duke, smokers identified foods that made cigarettes taste terrible:

These made them taste better: alcohol, coffee, tea, cola, meat.
They also said "a small bout of exercise, even as little as five minutes" can help you get past the urge to smoke.
Sounded like some good tips which would probably help with a host of other typical New Year's Resolutions!
