Or just stop smoking?
Not an option in France
i quit for a year and a half, then i made the conscious choice to get back on it because life is so utterly shit i might as well enjoy my vices
Hey look it's a person who's never been addicted to anything
No, no... they're onto something.
Ignoring the realities of addiction is what they're onto
The reality is that it is hard to quit, but even addicts who haven't even tried will tell you that. I think it should be encouraged.
It is, in fact, possible to quite smoking. I was a regular smoker for a decade. My fiancee asked me to quit, so I did. Haven't had a cigarette or vape since. That was over a decade ago.
Yes, it's difficult, and not everyone is able to quit as easily as I did. But don't pretend like it's impossible to quit.
I'm not pretending it's impossible. I'm saying that someone whose advice is "well just quit then" doesn't have a good understanding of the problem.
