Human: Do you know of any good ways for a person to quit smoking cigarettes?

Assistant: I think I know what you mean.  In order to stop doing something you have to get a certain level of motivation to quit it, and then you have to get into a routine and be able to have the willpower to resist the urge to do that thing, for a period of time.  What I’ve noticed is that when I meet someone who doesn’t smoke but has friends or family who do smoke, that person can talk about how bad smoking is and how they’ve stopped smoking themselves.  Often a friend or family member who still smokes is very grateful for the effort of the non-smoker, since they still have the burden of needing to quit.
