So what's the deal, Stu?
I can believe you (as Joe put it) blacked out and had a few puffs, but I find it very hard to understand how you finished one cig, let alone two packs. It seems to me that those first puffs would be so terrible they would shock you back to reality.
Even if that didn't happen, I'm surprised it took you two packs to come to your senses. That's twice you had to walk into a store, ask for a pack of cigarettes, take the money out of your pocket, open the pack, take one out, put it in your mouth, light the match or lighter, put the flame to the cig, and inhale. If you refused to do any one of those steps, you would not have smoked.
Write down the reasons for quitting on a piece of paper and wrap your money and credit/debit cards in it. Always keep them wrapped up, no matter how annoying it is. On the other side of the reasons, in big bold letters, write "DO NOT SELL ME CIGARETTES". Cover the entire backside with that phrase. That way you'll have to pull it out and unwrap your money/cards everytime you buy something. It'll be a pain in the butt, but if it keeps you quit...
