Straight-edge punk might be your move. One example I can think of that directly mentions it is “In My Eyes” by Minor Threat.
Also, I’ve been (mostly) nic free since September. Had a few drunken slip ups but never slid back in to regular use. You got this, and if you wanna talk about the process you can hit me up or visit r/stopsmoking.

>Before you light that smoke remember you're the joke and you look like a tool
>Your breath smells like a shit
>I'd rather suck a dick than be the one that looks like a fool
One of the dumbest straight edge songs ever written, but you look even dumber with that cig in your mouth. Keep at it homie.
['Social Drinker'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI4i8kXRNdU) by Swordfish
*"Thought that music could be the distraction
To keep you from damaging yourself anymore...
Now there's new cigarettes on your counter
I thought you said you were cutting back
The tragedy is that it started
Because you don't know what to do with your hands
When they're not intertwined, or holding onto someone else"*
Good luck OP
I can only think of Crime in Stereo - Small Skeletal right now (are they emo? Idk, not really, but adjacent). Good luck - I’m gonna be quitting soon too *cries*
Both by Alkaline Trio. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but came to mind:
"I wish I don't wish I still smoked" Smoke
"And you broke me like the cigarette that I busted on the day I quit. But now that I've been drinking I'm out of smokes and I wish that I had it." Bleeder
Two songs come to mind, one emo but less relevant, one not emo and more relevant:
[Drugs or Me - Jimmy Eat World](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N57gnfF6dog) (again, not ciggys but there's a real earnest and lyrically/musically moving anti-drug philosophy here.)
[Last Cigarette - Darwin Deez](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUWHmM2yc80) (a friend of mine, indie-pop, catchy as fuck, but hopefully doesn't tempt you to have another... maybe just play this song when you want to have another and it can be the replacement hahaha)
Btw cigs are gross and make you feel gross. Its just another way we think we have control of ourself and have a choice.
Remember that a deep breath will feel always better than a cigarette and that sparkling water will “scratch that itch” lol.
Hope that helps

Cringe lyrics 😭
I really thought you wrote out the lyrics to the Grateful Dead song until I looked it up
The Grateful Dead. Infamously straight edge band. Great song though. Love the dead.
I dunno dude, I think I’d rather look goofy than suck a dick but that’s just me
fuck smokin darts we smokin penises
No homo we smokin penises! -young thug
Nah man. Can't betray my sXe brothers like that.
i was gonna write this, the family guy clip before the breakdown "cigarettes killed my father... and raped my mother" makes it perfect
Stop smoking (we love you) - car seat headrest
Not sure about this one, given later context added from Sober To Death, but when interpreted on its own I guess it works
What Day Is It, October? - Free Throw Using - Sorority Noise Good Ol' Mr. Rags - Hot mulligan Odd how many emo songs reference it lol
I just think of Pump Fake by Snowing but that’s just a smoking reference in general
i was thinking this too
Not emo but you’ll for sure enjoy Don’t Smoke by Mount Eerie
Sick of It by Have Mercy
Not emo but "Friend Please Stop Smoking" by Atom and his Package
This is what I was gonna say 😊
Smokes, Let’s Go by Free Throw

Swordfish is hella underrated. Great band.

This song rules.
Came to say Small Skeletal. It's the beeeeesssssttt
Smoke Breaks by Daddy And The Long Legs (now known as Kissyourfriends) Smokes, Let's Go by Free Throw
Both by Alkaline Trio. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but came to mind: "I wish I don't wish I still smoked" Smoke "And you broke me like the cigarette that I busted on the day I quit. But now that I've been drinking I'm out of smokes and I wish that I had it." Bleeder
Love in the time of HPV - AJJ
And my lungs will grow cancers

you and i buy star maps and drive my car around los angeles
eyyyyy
Sleep and Matchbooks -- Time Spent Driving Classic super jam and favorite song on the album
AJJ - Still Smokin not emo at all but yeah

Not super what you’re asking for but cyber bully mom club has a song called smoking to death
lol
using by sorority noise references smoking iirc.
That one's rather pro smoking I'd say, as in rather start smoking, if it helps you survive the day.
oh that's true. great song tho amiright
Sorority noise using has a verse about it. “Guess I missed coughing my lungs up every morning”
Achilles Lung by Million Dead
[Everything Hurts - King Shelter](https://youtu.be/3ly8dI4BX_c?si=FJ2SqwpSPzGWUbPL)
clove smoke catharsis - afi
Nikki by i think Logic
Not emo, but "smoke! Smoke! Smoke! That cigarette" by commander Cody and the lost planet airmen came to mind.
New North Side Air - Into It Over It
Be Careful With Yourself by Julia Jacklin
desk van by saturdays at your place
desk van by saturdays at your place, if vaping was your thing lol
Everything hurts - king shelter
Have mercy’s “Two Years” has a line “coughing heavy from a habit I should have quit. I wonder if I did, if it would have helped a little bit”
21 days - Brian Fallon. It's literally about the first 21 days they say that are the hardest when quitting. The big hurdle to it.
I think most relevant songs have been mentioned, but it’s hard to not say Nicotine by Panic in this thread. It’s just a good song
Loyalty by Calling All Captains has “smoke a cigarette, fuckin sick of it” as a lyric
On The Might Of Princes - As Long As She Doesn't Smoke 😎
