OK - now you may not believe this - but it IS true!
I used to do hotline support for one of the PC companies - I had been in & trained this particular client to always take a backup before shutting down for the night.
I took her call at 3pm on the day after the training course:
Hello, um, my computer seems to be smoking - what should I do?
Turn the power off at the wall and call the building supervisor!
But shouldn't I take a backup?
No - just turn it off and get out of the room.
But YOU told me I should never turn off before taking a backup!
By this time I am standing screaming down the phone - "For god's sake - get out of the room woman and get some help!!!"
Ho hum.

Last time I tried a "Urgent help needed" question, I got thrown out of Answers.... I lost my account too.
My computer smoked quite a bit due to the stress - Admittedly I did thump it a few times, and I now have a few loose keys, but I did find the withdrawal method to be successful, though rather unsatisfying.
If I wore a patch for every packet of ciggies I got through every day, I'd be in a band aid commercial, though would suggest you withdraw yourself from said computer, and pour a drink...
That way, you get sticky keys, and a schmokin computer!!!

Once it gets hooked it so hard to stop. I have stopped for a while but thinking of having one now even though I only ever smoked 3 at most a day. 20 is way too much, don't bother with patches - you have a problem there. Good luck.

If your pc is old enough to smoke then you should let it, cos it won't be much use for anything else. Otherwise I'd recommend a good stern ticking off and an early bedtime without supper. Withhold pocket money until it has come to its senses.

That's strange you should say that, every time I put a drink down near mine it usually disappears in a minute or two.
They must be related

Best to cut down gradually, try to get it on to the odd cigar instead of cigarettes, or maybe even a pipe, then wean it off gently.

If it's using a lighter, take it away and make sure you remove the gas aerosol too or it will start sniffing that next!
