Pair programing is not for everyone. Like any other method. Pair programing is for motivated, enthusiastic and even addicted people. It is a different approach to the problem, which people must have curiousness, motivation and courage to try. Try together.
It cannot be forced or set up by the managers. It cannot be motivated by money. It is for passionate people, who have a desire to solve some problem or get things better together.
btw, Kent Beck's "Extreme Programming Explained" stats clear that it isn't a silver bullet and it didn't work alone. Only together with testing, planing, small changes and continuous integration. It is a part of collective effort.
And of course, passionate and enthusiastic people don't give a damn to things like halitosis when they're doing together that they really love to do.
