If you smoke enough cigarettes you will probably get #cancer. Quitting is hard, but it's most likely worth it.

Have you ever seen people with a hole in their neck?

You can only quit if you want to quit. If you want to quit, it is disorienting, but not all that difficult. The wanting is the hard part.

Breaking an addiction is an inherently violent process (you must destroy part or all of "yourself"). People tend to shy away from violence.

That's an interesting way to think about it, I always saw it as distancing yourself from a dependency. It's much easier if you replace bad habits with constructive ones

It's not always necessary to quit entirely either, some bad habits aren't that bad if done in moderation

Quitter since 2006. No nicotine no alcohol. Only couple of months was tough in the beginning. Just a matter of habits lol.

I had trouble quitting cigarettes too, but kicked them pretty easily when I started dating a non-smoker. It's nearly impossible without a good reason though, I'm at ~4 years now

You can only quit an addiction if you have a good enough reason period. A good WHY? (reason to quit) will carry you through every single obstacle and hard time.

Agreed. In my case, I basically have to break before I decide to make a change.
