Possibly the dumbest thing I believe is that I could beat nicotine addiction.
Deep in my soul I KNOW that I could start smoking, keep it up for a few months, then simply quit cold turkey with no problems apart from feeling a bit crap for a few days.
Thankfully I am far too smart to actually put this to the test.
Don’t do it, man! My work colleague is having a hell of a time quitting poisoning himself with that stuff, though he has been doing it for many years, not the few months you propose.
I’m lucky in that when I tried smoking tobacco in my early 20’s my body violently rejected it; I was consistently bent over vomiting in the garden at about half a cigarette.
Though *if* you were to engage in this mad experiment, consider researching and sourcing genuine organically grown pure tobacco.

“Why…why should we fear to smoke it?”
“Since when did Saruman the wise trade reason for madness?”
