And then of course when you master the "Death Stick Skill" You die.
The only problem with this method is that a sim could never quit smoking without dire consequences because of a permanent -50 moodlet. But what's worse.. that moodlet, or dying by maximizing the skill?
Maybe not a permanant moodlet, but one that decreases over time, reletive to how long it's been since the last Death Stick (a matter of days-weeks, depending on lifespan settings) and levelling out at a -10 "Death Stick craving" moodlet after a few weeks or so. And maybe during the quitting time if you have free will on, the sim would go buy and smoke a Death Stick if you left them alone for too long. And there could be conversation options about smoking, like "Complain about Death Sticks" or a family member could "Ask to quit smoking".
WatersMoon:
As I understand it, for addicts, the craving to smoke cigarettes never goes away. So a permanent -10 craving would be accurate according to that information. Shopping autonomously would be a problem, I feel. When I am controlling a Sim/Sim family, I don't want them to be able to wander off and purchase things that I might not want them to have. I would be fine if they had an extra pack and tried to smoke more, but not with them shopping without my permission. I love the idea of having conversations about smoking, and especially trying to ask family and friends to stop smoking - especially autonomously. I don't know if it will be possible to actually create a new skill and skill journal, but having a hidden "skill level" that actually measures the severity of cigarette addiction.
I also think that Sims should be able burn themselves and their furniture accidentally. I like the idea of them falling asleep while smoking could burn them up. Good population control. *wink*

It really depends on the person. I quit over a year ago and have no cravings, and I was addicted for 12+ years. I have a buddy who quit like three six years ago and he still drools at the thought of a cigarette. In my opinion if you still want to smoke after not smoking for that long, then you quit wrong. He gets pretty irritated when I say that.
Edit to fix math error.

If I ever support them into the game, I'm going to refer to them as Death Sticks. Like the caffeine buzz crash, your sim will then get a negative moodlet of "Could use a Death Stick". To prevent the negative moodlet, you must then give your sim another death stick, and thus the cycle of addiction continues.
I would seriously consider a sacrifice, chanting, and the whole nine yards if this could be implemented.
As for that period mod, I admit to having it when I still played Sims 2. Why? I love to torture my sims. I mean, I torture them because I love them. Or is it that I love them because I torture them? Eh, que sera, sera.
Lurker:
For a special death by Simbacco a spontaneous combustion would be awesome. The sim would just burst into flames, scream a bit then curl up.
Maybe a coffee clone could do it as it already has a good moodlet when immediatly drunk (the energy one), then a bad one a couple of hours after (the grumpy one). Adding some moddlets ideas for that: a bad breath moodlet that would only go away by brushing your teeth and a bad smell one that would annoy non-smoker sims whereas smoker sims would immediately have an urge for a death stick if they smell that odor.
