How can I simulate addiction to smoking?

I am working on a project that relates to addiction to smoking and how a person goes about with breaking this habit. I am not addicted to nicotine, I do not smoke tobacco on a regular basis, and I do not wish to for the purposes of this project. Is there any other way I can simulate the effects of addiction to smoking on a person? I have heard of certain ways to simulate this like running around a track breathing only through a drinking straw. Are there any other ways I can simulate addiction to smoking without actually doing so?
