They had that exhibit here in South Florida. It's very, uh, creepy. Educational, but creepy!
As for your problem with nicotine, have you considered requesting a doctor's help with going off? There are some options out there that can be useful in the process, if doing it alone isn't working for you. I read on the Mayo Clinic website about a drug called Chantix, which supposedly affects the nicotine receptors in your brain to make it less desirable. It's worth considering!
